Florida

We are in the Fort Walton Beach area of the Florida panhandle for Dillis Frazier's birthday. We got this picture of the heron at Bayside where we went to dinner. We are staying in a beautiful beach house.
Tom, Marilyn, Dillis, Andy and I went biking today from Bib Daddy's to Seaside.

Sedona

We have spent a wonderful week in Sedona, hiking and having a little down time. We have had so much snow and rain this year that all of the streams are really running high as you can see. Reilly loves it. Even hikes that usually do not have water had it this year.
This is the view from our condo. It was a great spot to celebrate Andy's birthday.

Watchtower at the Grand Canyon

Sunday we drove to the far East End of the Grand Canyon South Rim to see the Watchtower. We had never been there before, we had see it when we rafted the Canyon but wanted to see it in person. It was very interesting. It was built by Mary Coulter who had done so many of the Canyon buildings.


As you can see there is still snow around the rim.

Spring in Arizona

Andy and I are on our way up to Sedona for a week of relaxation and hiking. We decided to stop by the Lost Dutchman State Park because we heard that the wildflowers were great. They did not exagerate. We had a great hike up to the top of a ridge in the park and really enjoyed the views. We had never been here before.


We also went to Bartlett Lake (near Cave Creek) for the same reason and were not disappointed.
