A Short Sweet Trip: Sedona

Jamel and I went to Sedona (this was suppose to be our Valentine's gift to each other)... and what a wonderful gift it was. I had not been to Sedona in ages and Jamel had never been. We had a fabulous time and shall go back eventually because we were only able to stay over the night. Next time we need to stay a little longer.

We stayed at a lovely resort called Amara. The resort had a creek pathway that was so wonderful and peaceful. Jamel and I had much needed quiet time. It was chilly and lovely and just - what's the word I'm looking for... 'perfect'.


The perfect little getaway creek

I'm so tired today - and ready for bed but not without first posting some photos. Somebody must have snuck Olivia an energy bar because tonight - she was by far the most energetic I've ever seen her.


This was such a perfect photo log... Jamel sits...


I surf it...

I kept it simple... all black with a hint of earthy

i have been itching to get out of the city w/ emily lately, just for a weekend. But i might wait til it warms up a bit - she isn't too happy in the cold.

Love the sexy bangs!! Look at what a gorgeous couple you are! And is that a colorful stripey scarf I see?? I didn't think you could wear scarves in AZ! :-)

I wish Rob and I could get away for a weekend. But I'm like lew's emily...I'm not happy in the cold. And besides, Rob and I went over our calendars yesterday...we have like 8 of the next 10 weekends booked up with obligations! Boo!

Uh, anyway, I'm rambling in this comment. :-D

You guys thanks for the sweet compliments about my hair. :) Dev, you crack me up... I asked Jamel and he said Levi's 559 Relaxed Straight Leg. * wink * JcPenney....
