Wow - 33 years - some might say we must be getting old. I say we are just getting better! Dad and I had a great time on our last minute get away to Sedona. In spite of the fact that out hotel didn't really turn out to be the "romantic" getaway that I had planned. I expected the romantic french provincial style of L'Auberge http://www.lauberge.com/ and we ended up with the tacky southwest style of Los Abrigados http://www.losabrigados.com/ . Oh well - it's all about who you are with - right!?

We didn't spend much time at the hotel so it really didn't matter. On Monday we drove to Meteor Crater. Basically a big hole in the ground. It was actually quite interesting to hear about how the hole was made. It is actually large enough to fit 20 football fields on the bottom and seat over 2 million people around the arena. It is 550 feet deep. The meteor was the size of 1/2 a football field and hit at ground at a speed equivalent to an airplane flying from New York to Los Angeles in about 2 minutes. (Or so they say - I don't think anyone was around to actually record any of this information!)

We had a nice guided tour of the rim and then drove to Winslow, Arizona (20 miles away) so we could say we'd been there and took pictures -as the song says - "standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona with a good friend of mine."

Of, by the way - the green thing above is the Geiko gecko in the flesh! It greeted us as we started the tour of the crater.
