Sedona

New Years Day my Mom, Sister, Princess, Morgan and I had a girls day in Sedona. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. Our first stop was The Chapel of the Holy Cross. This Chapel is absolutely amazing.
The view from inside the church...breathtaking.
My Sister, Princess, Morgan and I waiting outside the Chapel for my mom...she was shopping in the gift shop!

What a beautiful view it was from the Chapel.






Our next stop was The Secret Garden Cafe for lunch. This little Cafe is dog friendly. When we arrived the owner greeted us and took us to the back garden area. She looked at Princess, my sister's dog, and said "You are why I bought this place, we will get you step up first, then the humans next." My sister thought it was great, as Princess is her baby.

One of the little ponds and fountains in the garden area where we sat.

We had this area to ourselves...it was nice to enjoy a quiet lunch outside.

The salads were great, their dressing is homemade. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich...Y-U-M-M-Y!
And even Princess was served a small bowl of grilled chicken and a large bowl of filtered water.

After lunch we headed down to the park by the creek. The park was called "The First Little Piggy Park". As we walked through the arch I noticed something on the ground nearby, so we walked over to see...it was a Chess/Checkers board...Morgan size chess pieces. Then all the concrete tables around the board had miniature game boards on them. It made me think of Alice in Wonderland.
Morgan loved crossing the bridge to see the creek.

We found a small waterfall/pond that had rocks around it with inspiring words on them.

I came home and told Shawn that we are going to have an adult get-a-way weekend in Sedona this year...maybe in the Spring when the colors are changing again. It was a very peaceful and relaxing girls day!
