Weekend getaway with Marc and Kim! And we were heading towards the Red Rocks, aka My Happy Place!
Our first stop was to the town of Jerome for lunch at The Asylum, located in Jerome's Grand Hotel. We had a great table by the window with wonderful views of the old mining town.
Kim and I had a few good chuckles at the boys' expense. They both came back from the men's room and it was very mysterious how the following statements had appeared on the paper tablecloth, written in blue and green crayon:
(Marc's seat): I like boyz.
(Tony's seat): I tip 4%.
Kim and I had no idea who, what or even how that happened!
After lunch, we walked back down towards Main Street and the different art galleries and shops. Our favorite was Raku Gallery where we also saw a glass blowing demonstration by the owner of the gallery. It was informative and enlightening. I want to have the kind of passion he has for his craft.
It was late afternoon by the time we got into Sedona and checked into the very lovely Canyon Villa Inn. This entire weekend was courtesy of Tony's parents (a third anniversary present to Tony and I and a wedding present to Marc and Kim). There are only eleven rooms and aside from the four of us, there was only one other couple on property.
Tony and I were in the Ocotillo Room and it had a beautiful view of Bell Rock from our balcony. We flipped on the fireplace and had such a blast hanging out with Marc and Kim in our room that we completely missed hors d'oeuvres downstairs. But, that was okay because we had dinner reservations at Cucina Rustica. Good pasta and wine is all you really need sometimes.
This morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast of caramelized pears, cinnamon buns, orange pancakes and orange glazed sausages. Everything was fantastic and the innkeepers were just a wonderful host and hostess. It was a shame we were only there for one night.
And you would never believe but it was snowing outside! Okay, it was really more of a miniscule flurry that disintegrated in a blink of an eye, but it was definitely the white stuff! It was really beautiful to us desert dwellers.
After browsing through the shops of Hillside Sedona, we headed back home. The four of us did make a quick pit stop at Exit 242 and picked up a few World Famous Rock Springs Cafe pies. I bought a cherry pie for my brother (who was looking after the 'doodle) and a blackberry pie for ourselves. I cannot wait to sample them.
And always, photos from our trip are here.
