Our Week in a Nut Shell

Our RVs behind us 

This past week we spent a week parked at the Thousand Trails RV Park in Verde Valley AZ with Benny's childhood friend and his friends wife.

We drove through Sedona but we picked the wrong day as it was busy in town. We stopped by the Chapel of the Holy Cross church which is a church that is built into the rocks. Spectacular views and a place one should visit.

Sunday we woke up in the desert then went off roading on a trail from Sedona to Flagstaff. It was a long drive but one I enjoyed taking. A bouncy but beautiful scenic road. When we got to Flagstaff we were in the forest and at the end of our drive we were at 10000 feet by the Snow bowl! Its amazing how in a days drive you see the different terrains of AZ.

Tuesday we drove to the cute town of Jerome. This little town was an old copper mining town and most the buildings were built into the hillside. In the 1920's the town was populated with over 10,000 people. Now the population is 444.

We also took a drive over the hill and stopped in Prescott. Another cute little town with a lot of cute shops. We had some delicious Pad Thai at one of the restaurants across from Whiskey Row.

Thursday was Thanksgiving and we were Blessed to be Spending the Holiday with our good Friends the Dickson / Neeb Family in Flagstaff! We had a delicious meal and we were bummed that the snow decided not to fall even though it felt cold enough to Snow!

On our final day we drove to some of the national parks. We first stopped at Montezuma's Castle. I have never seen ancient Indian Dwellings before so I was in complete amazement. We then drove to Montezuma's Well. This place also has archaeological remains of cliff Dwellings. Our last stop was Tuzigoot which has the remains of a 3 story pueblo. This kind of history really interests me.

We had an amazing week in the park as well. We joined the other people staying here and we played Wii Bowling on Monday night. Karaoke on Tuesday night, and Wednesday night we played Card Bingo. I think my favorite was our group (crazy group) singing Bohemian Rhapsody!!

I feel we need a vacation from our vacation hahaha I'm so excited and can not wait for our next "vacation". For now we will be parked back in Congress AZ at the North Ranch Ecapees RV Park. Stay tuned !!
