Easter in Sedona

What can you say?
I haven't said "wow" this much since 1969

Tourists


Joyce and the giant chicken



4' long bunches of red chili peppers




Colorful Pottery





Yesterday (Easter) we decided to make the trip back up to Sedona for lunch and some poking around. It was about a 3 hour trip to the restaurant where we ate with Ron and Diane. We were impressed the first time there, so decided to go back. It was a little more crowded than last time, but we got right in just before 1:00. The food was good and the service was excellent! After lunch we drove around and checked out several of the shops. The weather was very nice, around 70 degrees and clear skys. We drove down a couple of back roads and took a lot of pictures. It's hard not to get carried away with the camera there. We got back to the RV park a little after 6. The Amazing Race comes on at 7:00 here, and we made it back with time to spare. It was about 320 miles round trip. Kind of like our Sunday drives to Ellensburg for ice cream.
We will be heading out from here on Monday the 12th. We will be heading east about 1,000 miles to hang out with Kristin for a few days in the Austin, Texas vicinity. She has the following Friday, Saturday, & Sunday off. It even sounds like she will be staying IN the motorhome for the 3 nights!! She's even become fond of Barbecue!!! What is the world comming to??? We will probably start winding our way northwest on Monday the 19th. We don't have a plan for that leg yet, and we may do some visiting on the way home. It looks like we could be home around the 26th. We're hoping that the weather will be in "springtime mode" when we get home. I'm holding true to my word not to go back to long pants before October. As long as it's in the 60 range I'll be good!
Enjoy the pictures, and for any of you who have never been to Sedona, they don't do it justice!
Stay warm, Ernie

P.S. We are having company tomorrow, and I,ve got a 10# Briskit going in the smoker tonight for a 16 hou cook.

Sedona is so beautiful! Have a safe trip to Texas and back home again. I can almost smell the brisket cooking. The RV park is going to be missing you and all the great barbecue smells! See you soon!

More great pictures....I'm jealous you got to go back to Sedona. That store is my kind of place, you'll have to let me know if you found anything you couldn't live without. Ron hates to stop at places like that because I can spend hours there, you just never know what treasures you may find while rummaging around all the stuff (like a giant chicken)ha.
Firing up the Webber, sounds like chef Ernesto is back. What was the name of that BBQ sauce again?
Its definitely springtime here, but that doesn't mean it won't snow tomorrow (just kidding). Exactly how cold does it have to be before Ernie wears long pants???
Have a safe trip to Texas...Diane
