Next Stop Sedona

Awoke at 4:30 am to meet out balloon pilot - Captain Ron. After 4-wheeling to our launch site, the crew rolled out 4 balloons and with some of Bev's help inflated them for lift off. We rose into the air and drifted among the clouds as we watched the sun rise above the gorgeous Sedona landscape.

After the wonderful trip, we went back to the hotel to rest our weary eyes before heading on our next excursion. On our afternoon trip we stopped at the Church of the Red Rocks which is built into the side of a majestic mountain.

Next we headed to a ghost town called Jerome where we had lunch at the Haunted Hamburger. The view from our table was spectacular and the food was just as amazing.


Stay tuned for more stories as we head north to the Grand Canyon and beyond....

The Beginning of a New Adventure...

The Arizona Connection -
On September 23 Mom & I met in Atlanta and flew to Phoenix by way of Salt Lake City. It was a long trip both of us leaving home around 4:30am to make our way to the airports and arriving in Phoenix around 3:30pm which is 6:30 EST. The first photo is the view of the sunrise on my flight from Norfolk to Atlanta.

This is a photo of the Grand Canyon from 20,000 feet. It was an amazing view.














Bev met us at the airport and wisked us away to her mom's house for a good time of fellowship and food. Then we made our way into the desert to the Ward Ranch in Tonopah. Here is a picture of the Ward's and I after dinner on Sunday.

We got together with my roommate from college Kim (Shoup)Kooy and her lovely family on Sunday evening.

More fun to come as the adventure continues......
