here’s a highlight reel of my recent trip to the amazingly gorgeous sedona, arizona. i did a day trip here a few years back with my family and knew i had to return for a longer visit with the boyfriend. unfortunately, 3 days and 2 nights was still not long enough. so next time, i think i will plan a 5 day, 4 night trip to make sure we get to enjoy more of this lovely little place.
day 1

tasty beers from the oak creek brewery & grill was a great way to unwind after our drive in. their burgers are quite tasty too!

after a full day of hiking, we decided to enjoy a delicious dinner at elote cafe. i could go on and on about this place, but i suggest you just yelp it and read for yourself. it’s how we decided on the place and every single review and suggestion is spot on!

it was actually a perfect way to end the trip with such an awe inspiring view while the sun was rising in the early morning.
