Arizona, Vegas and Major Update

At the end of May, my wife and I went on a trip to Vegas and to the north region of Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon along with the Flagstaff and Sedona region. The trip ended up being absolutely gorgeous, and we found ourselves wishing to come back there for longer. Unfortunately, we only had one full day to spend at the Grand Canyon, and although we did try to make the best of it, we didn’t have the chance to go hiking down into the canyon. That will have to wait for another day. Still, the photo collection kept me busy for a week afterwards.

The road trip from the Grand Canyon Village towards Flagstaff and down the Oak Creek Canyon into the Sedona valley was also breathtaking, but in a different way. Sedona itself left us pretty much with our mouths hanging open the whole time we were there. The view is so unique and incredible as you’re surrounded by towering red rock outcroppings everywhere you look, that it seems unreal. Overall, our trip through Arizona was such an incredible experience, that we’re planning to go there again and again as many times as we can.

Vegas was a pleasant surprise, and more fun than I expected (I really dislike casinos). We stayed at the new Aria hotel, and the Venetian, saw the O show by Cirque du Soleil (which was a great visual treat), and walked for hours up and down the strip. One of the best things about Vegas was actually the food. Although very expensive anywhere you went on the strip, it was well done and very tasty. We absolutely love good food, and all the restaurants we went to made a good impression.
