Ever thought about how funny mountains are? They\u2019re hill areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were up bright and early and heard the pigs next door.\u00a0 Breakfast and coffee arrived right on time, 9:00 AM sharp!\u00a0 Mary ordered our breakfast and it was enough for four people.\u00a0 We are both going to hide our bathroom scales when we get home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

She ordered a bigger one today!<\/p><\/div>\n

We fed the piggies our leftovers.\u00a0 Mary decided to name them.\u00a0 Piggy 1, Piggy 2, and Piggy 3 were not original, but it worked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Come and get it, little guys.<\/p><\/div>\n

We drove for an hour, taking the long way to get there, and as we went, we talked to Jan M. and told her about the trip. Old Town Clarkdale straight ahead.\u00a0 We drove the speed limit, much to Mary’s dismay, but we got there with time to spare.<\/p>\n

We stopped in Clarkdale in a section called Old Town.\u00a0 The air was nippy but comfortable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Old Town Clarkdale was wonderful.<\/p><\/div>\n

The gas station was an amazing find\u2014Gilmore gasoline, same as LA Farmers Market.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The old gas station<\/p><\/div>\n

The antique store was next door, and it was a blast to walk through the past.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Roaming around the antique store<\/p><\/div>\n

The train station had a little museum, and it was well done. We spent half an hour reading the charts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We loved the train museum.<\/p><\/div>\n

We were in a car name Scottsdale, and we had a super table for two.\u00a0 We shared a good BM (Bloody Mary) before cracking open our wine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Riding the rails<\/p><\/div>\n

We spent a lot of time outside seeing the scenery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yes… we danced<\/p><\/div>\n

I was puzzled, the big camera<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Come on camera, work!!<\/p><\/div>\n

It was a four-hour trip and the time went by fast!\u00a0 The scenery was out of this world; a geologist’s dream come true.\u00a0 Joe should have been here to explain all the formations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The train ride was amazing.<\/p><\/div>\n

It was dusk when we returned to Sedona, so we stopped at The Pump House and had dinner.\u00a0 I went off-roading and had a margarita while Mary settled for a glass of fine.\u00a0 We did surf and turf.\u00a0 The restaurant was only three blocks from our hotel, so it was easy to find our way home.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we are going to the “Out Of Africa” park and going zip-lining at 11:00 AM.\u00a0 Great fun, and the vacation has been totally amazing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
