This morning I was startled from my dreams with the question, "Do you have anything to do today?  Cause we're going to Sedona."  And on that surprise note, we tore the winter clothes out from the garage, hopped in the car for a quick two-hour drive, and spent just enough time playing around in the snow before returning to get Olivia to her Macbeth rehearsal at five.  Living in Gilbert, we are slightly deprived of true seasons, so we were quite excited for the chance to throw ice at each other and besides, the red rocks of Sedona are absolutely stunning in contrast to the wintry white.
  Funny enough, while randomly driving to Slide Rock, an area we had never been to before {though highly recommend visiting}, we ran into some old family friends who we hadn't even known were vacationing in Sedona.  What a small world.
  Really though.  Sometimes it's nice to escape the usually Arizona warmth.
