I visited Sedona for the first time this weekend and it was quite the getaway.
I have heard about the vortexes (vertices... evidently both pronunciations are correct) and the red rocks, but mainly, I had heard that it was 10 degrees cooler there and I am sick of the heat here.
Did you get that? The high is 107 degrees today. Honestly. Phoenix, for my birthday, I want a cool 85 degrees, okay? Okay.
The Good Doctor (hereby referred to as TGD) took me on a weekend getaway and it was fabulous. We stayed at L'Auberge with a fantastic view of the Red Rocks and I learned what "turn-down service" was. I had the best scallops that I have ever tasted in my life and got to shower in an outdoor shower. Of course, I'm not quite sure why an outdoor shower is so luxurious, but for some reason, it was, so I used it the entire time. TGD and I hiked along the West Fork of Oak Creek and watched the sunset from Schnebly Hill. It was so beautiful up there on the red rocks and we weren't the only ones that thought so: we watched it amidst a photo shoot with two models posing with some fancy hiking boots.
TGD has most of the photos on his camera, but here is one that I particularly like... it summed up out delightful Saturday morning complete with scones, coffee, the newspaper and a crossword puzzle.
This is our view from the balcony. And did I mention that they provided slippers? Quelle luxe!
