The final days - Sedona and other stops

After the convention ended, we spent a few extra days in Arizona and were able to do some sight seeing. On Sunday, we ventured for a day trip to Sedona,AZ. It was very pretty, and a great place to walk around and tour. It is about half way between Phoenix and the Grand Canyon, and since we weren't going to the Grand Canyon, it gave us a taste of more of the landscape and area within Arizona.


Of course, we had to have at least one scenic picture with the rock formations!

During this picture time, Mary Ellen would stand there, and tell us who was next to take a picture with her. As you can see, I got a turn with her.


She needed a picture by herself with this statue.


And of course, we have to have a picture with the Rocky Mountain Chocolate bear! Everyone loves chocolate!


And what Arkansas girl can't pass up a picture with a pink "Razorback!" I am sure they don't think of it this way in Sedona, but we do!

More of the rocks!


Daddy is holding on to me here!


Family photo - Would have been a great Christmas card picture, but I think that little sister would feel left out if we use this one!

On Monday, we traveled around Phoenix and did some shopping. That night, we went to a restaurant called Pinnacle Peak Point. It was a neat place that Mary Ellen was able to enjoy the food and music that she could dance along with. Outside they had set up various western items that we got some pictures with.

Family photo!


And of course, another picture with a cactus!

Before we left on Tuesday, we went to Old Town Scottsdale. Mary Ellen loved this cowboy and asked to have her picture taken here!
