The 4 Corners Adventure



The adventure begins!  We finishing organizing the two cars, Kathryn is taking her Tahoe with Erin and 4 of the kids, we packed up our Honda with one of the grandkids with us.  Ten of us, gearing up to have a grand time!

We start out around 9:30am and are j u s t getting to the freeway and Dad asks “This place does have a pool right?”  “Yes, they do”, I reply…next question?  “Did you turn off the pool water”????? Panic sets in, we do a quick U-turn and rush back home. Thankfully a tragedy was avoided and he turned it off, that would have been a disaster! Back on the road, being so thankful he thought of if BEFORE we were more then two stoplights away, we start to relax and enjoy.

The traffic was cooperating and we were smooth sailing when we saw a gorgeous sight up ahead,  dark menacing clouds!  In Southern California, rain is precious, and monsoon-type weather, is hit and miss to say the least.  We rejoiced at the drops starting to pelt the car, and windows were immediately opened to revel in the sweet smell of rain.  Near Flagstaff, we had an amazing light show along with the rain, what a treat!  As we neared Sedona, the rain let up a bit and with windows opened we could smell the pines and the campfires in the air, really starting to relax now :D


We arrived at Sky Ridge Lodge on top of a mountain, next to the Sedona Airport, we have stayed here before and have NEVER been disappointed.  We settled in our rooms and then headed out to dinner to a familiar place Javelinas…Where the atmosphere is relaxed, the food is delish and the Prickly Pear Margaritas are worth the trip alone!

Exhausted, full and ready for a great nights sleep, we head back to the rooms to dream of tomorrows adventure….
