Red Rocks

For the first part of our vacation, Sophie, Claire and I went to visit my sister Cathy's family in Phoenix. As a day trip, my parents accompanied us to nearby Sedona, home of the red rocks (and about 7 dozen crystal and new age paraphernalia shops). We took some great hikes around the area.

Cool cactus growing in red soil.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's students. Don't you think it kind of looks like the Jawa Sandcrawler from Star Wars (see accompanying picture)?
