Last night, while we were working on yesterday's pictures for the blog, we regrouped and decided to save Sedona for another trip. Why, you ask? We are tired and needed some "rejuvenation" time, aka "more leisurely pace" and if we had gone to Sedona we would have been trying to "see everything" in a day in a half and then hit the road again to Petrified Forest National Park and the rest of the stops we are making on the way home. We no longer have the luxury of time on this trip (in other words, we have to stick to our schedule) so all of the other places we want to go will have to wait for our next trip, and the trip after that, and the trip after that!
So, we are in Flagstaff, the first stop on our way home. It was so exciting getting to "civilization" again, i.e., grocery stores, drug stores, Walmart...I think you know what I mean! And TV! Can you believe we have gone without TV and the news, the Today Show, and "late night TV" for a week! Our campground is only a mile from Market Place Mall so today I went and got a long overdue manicure/pedicure! Heavenly! And Petco is right at the Mall so we went in and scheduled the "girls" to be groomed tomorrow at 11:00! Yeah again! They are "way overdue"...the last place they were groomed was Jackson Hole, WY and we have been in red dirt and the desert since then so they are now a "dingy" white with a little red and yellow mixed in! And I have never seen "sandspurs" like we had at the campground in Tusayan! I couldn't even walk the "girls" on the gravel without them getting sandspurs all over them! And then, when they would try to pull them out (before I had a chance to...Glenn said I do it better than he does!), they would get them in their lips! Anyway, that was the only negative in our 3 plus month trip so that's pretty good!
Anyway, today was a nice, slow day...really needed after the pace we have been keeping the last few months! Even though we are on our way home, we will still be going to some interesting places so stay tuned...
