Sedona, Arizona

Our first stop on our trip, after visiting the Mesa Arizona Temple, was Sedona, four hours north of Tucson. We ended up camping wherever hotels were too expensive. It was quite a feat packing our small Ford Focus with enough camping gear, food and baby gear to last the seven day drive. Dane didn't think we would make it, but amazingly, we squeezed everything in, us included.

Aria was so tired on our hike that she completely collapsed in the hiking pack. It's a good thing baby's necks are made of rubber. :)

Dane, who is not one to freely give enthusiastic compliments, thought Sedona was amazing. We both loved the beautiful contrast of red rock and pine.

This was our first attempt at camping with Aria. After the actual falling asleep part, she did really well. Sedona's temperature remained warm at night and Aria loved jumping and rolling on the air mattress.
