Maybe I'm a vortex groupie.

But everybody needs to see Sedona, and once you do, you'll want to go back again and again.

... brunch on the way and came home to get some school work done. Oh yay the children cried! Chris and the girls went horseriding one morning through the forest. Zack and I did the shopping, you decide who had the best end of the deal. Then we went on to the Meteor Crater, very cool, especially as a wind storm came through and it was wild.!
