Day 17: Sedona

Today we visited Sedona. What a beautiful town, but quite a bit warmer and sunnier than Flagstaff. My attire once again included long sleeves and a sun hat. The views on the drive down to Sedona were stunning and for anyone uncomfortable with heights, quite an adventure. The boys were delighted to see the only McDonalds in the world with a blue logo. Building codes ensure that structures in Sedona blend in with the surrounding scenery and it had been determined that the red and yellow palette would stick out too much. We also saw the beautiful Chapel of the Holy Cross, which is built into the red rocks, and explored some of the scenic drives. Thunderstorms rolled into the area in the early afternoon and we headed back up to Flagstaff. I did get some beautiful pictures of the red rocks with the storm clouds above them. Back at the RV we celebrated Cliff's birthday with a cake, although he was not too excited about the addition of another year.
