Viva Las...Thursday!

We have officially arrived in Las Vegas! We spent tonight exploring the hotel, there is basically an entire town just here, it's unbelievable! Tomorrow we get to watch my little brother marry his love, in the presence of Elvis, of course. (You sure can expect photos!) 

Taking a few steps back first, Thursday we woke up in beautiful Sedona and had brunch at The Table at Junipine. The menu was minimal but sweet, and the kitchen was more than willing to customize to your hearts content. The deck had stunning forest views with fresh air and the sound of nature. It's the stuff happy places are made of.

 

From here we made our way to Cathedral Rock for some hiking goodness. We definitely recommend it if you are in the area. Some tips if you do decide to go:

• Bring lots of water! (We did and were super glad)
• Wear sneakers. (There was one girl in some sort of sandals, believe me; this isn't the place for that...)
• Bring your camera.  The views are stunning, especially when you get to the top, you'll want photos.
• Sunglasses were helpful too
• Did I mention the water?

 

 

 

 

 After Cathedral we were STARVING so we headed into town to Moon Dog pizza which was sooooo good. It is a self described mom & pop shop. They are very modest considering they've been voted best pizza in Sedona for years now. The owners are an adorable husband a wife and just the friendliest people.  We will certainly be going back next time we are in town (which will be soon!)

 

Pizza was just the fuel we needed to hit the road again. We reluctantly left Sedona be a piece of our hearts stayed behind.  We had a choice to make, continue to Death Valley or go to Vegas a little early. We opted for the latter for now. Death Valley is still on our list, but the city of lights was calling to us for now. We have another day of hiking ahead in Arches National Park so we didn't feel AS bad skipping DV (but we definitely want to get there at some point!)

Vegas has a lot to live up to after Sedona. Just sayin'.
