Good Friday

Good Friday was perfect!  It was an awesome day spent with Ben! I really do enjoy spending time with him.  We got up Friday morning after the kids went off to school and got ready for our day.  We drove to Sedona.  I love the drive to Sedona, always so pretty.  There were lots of people milling around, it was funny some of them had jackets on....you know they were from out of town hehehe.  The sun was bright, the breeze had a slight coolness to the warming of the day.  We were hungry so we found the first place we saw, a Mexican food place with an out door sitting area.

Ben is so ready to relax, he works so much and so hard.

These were some fancy looking shrimp tacos with things you didn't expect to find in a taco, like grapes.....but the flavors were good and we were hungry so it was perfect!

I sent this selfie to my daughter Karlee and she replied back saying it was the best selfie yet!  She loved seeing me so happy!

After we walked around a little we decided we were ready to head to Prescott.  Ben was so determined to get settled for the day to relax, not go anywhere and just chill.  We decided to drive through Jerome to get to Prescott.  I hadn't been to Jerome since I was a little girl.  We would go to visit on day trips when we would come to visit my grandparents here in Flag.  There was this one time when my grandpa Melo was driving and I'm not sure where we were suppose to go but we ended up in Jerome.  I remember how much everyone laughed but still made most of the day and enjoyed it.  I had forgotten about all the windy, narrow roads.  There was so many people all over the place.  Its so crazy how everything really is built into a hill, type valley.  I loved looking at the buildings as we drove through, it would be fun next time to stop and look around.

We got into Prescott and we went to Trader Joes.  Ben knows how much I love going to Trader Joes and stocking up on wine and whatever else I think I have to have.  I didn't do too much damage, a little wine and that was it.

After that we headed to the Prescott Resort.  It was funny when we read the description online and it said that there was a casino in walking distance.  There is a casino called Buckeys in the hotel.  We weren't interested in gambling but just to walk around and look was something to do.

The view from the parking lot, the hotel is up on a hill.

I was trying to take another selfie......funny guy!

I couldn't wait until later in the evening to go out there when I saw this area as we checked into our room.

Went and checked out the casino, had a drink and played the machine at the bar, didn't win anything.

Guess where we headed and found a place to sit outside.....

enjoyed sitting outside as the day was ending....

We ended up meeting and talking to another couple that had been sitting outside. 

And now a new day has begun.....I woke up briefly early on Saturday and took this picture from the balcony before going back to bed....up too late.

Saturday.

We got up and gathered up our things to head back home.  We were going to go back home through Jerome but we both were so tired we just wanted to get back so we just headed out the quickest way back.  We got back to my place, he went to the couch and I went to my bed and we took naps for a couple of hours.

The time away so great!  We spent lots of time talking, laughing and enjoying each other's company.

The rest of Saturday was spent relaxing and cuddling on the couch watching Netflix.  It ended up being an Indiana Jones marathon kind of day.
