Honeymoon take 2!

As most of you know (or if you read this post) Nate and I were sick for the duration of our honeymoon. We had talked about maybe taking a second honeymoon later this year or after Nate graduates but then we got an unexpected surprise. During a conversation with the doctor Nate was rotating with in February, it came out how we had gone to San Diego and gotten sick. The doctor then told Nate that as far as he was concerned his rotation was done on Tuesday (instead of Friday) and that if he didn't go somewhere he'd fail. Well we couldn't let Nate fail his rotation, so I looked around and found us a great 3 nights for the price of 2 deal in Sedona. It had been a good 10-15 years since I'd been to Sedona and with it only 2 hours away it was a perfect opportunity for make-up mini-moon.
The weather was perfect and it we had a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery of Sedona. We went hiking at Soldier's Pass and saw the giant sink hole Devil's Kitchen.


We drove up to see Snoopy Rock.


Hiked around the base of Cathedral Rock.


Hung out and relaxed by Oak Creek.


And walked around Tlaquepaque, where it was my turn to try on a goofy hat (maybe this will be a trend of ours).



After we had our fill of Sedona we took a drive up to Flagstaff to visit Nate's sister Jana and her family. There was still some snow on the ground and after lunch we found a spot to pull off for a impromptu snowball fight. I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of that though. Overall it was great to get away for a few days and enjoy some time with just the two of us away from work/school, the housework, and all the illness we've had for the past 2 months. A husband, a wife and the beautiful outdoors, how can it get much better than that?
