Sharing Sedona

In March I had some pretty special guests stop by Arizona.  Uncle Todd and Aunt Margie were hiding from the never-ending Illinois winter and traveling in their RV with Ollie.  I was so excited they decided to take the detour to the Southwest and visit us! We had an amazing time taking the Jeep around the old Apache Trail up to Roosevelt Dam.  We were thinking of things to do and I knew that I just had to share Sedona with them, one of Mom’s favorite places.  They even came to the house to meet Steadman before our day trip to Sedona.

Aunt Margie and I did a little shopping at Joyful Boutique (Gypsy Jenny's) a dress shop Mom loved so much.  We also went to our favorite outdoor restaurant spot at Hideaway House for lunch. From here I could show them the mountain where we hiked on our Sister trip to sprinkle some of Mom’s ashes.  We also made a visit to our family Timeshare Residence at the Hyatt so they could see why Mom fell in love with the property.  Then we walked around downtown, took scenic drives and decided to stay longer to enjoy dinner at Creekside.  Ollie got 5-star treatment getting to order from the dog menu! Aunt Margie said they don't do much of that back in Illinois!

It was hard to leave this special place!  There's still so much more to see and share in Arizona, but I guess they’ll just have to come back soon!  We had such a great time together and I miss my family so much.  It's beautiful how much Mom's memory still brings us all together and we find happiness and joy remembering her constantly.

Much Love Always,
Jess
