Our ride for the Hot Air Balloon picked us up at 5:15am this morning. We booked it with Red Rock Balloons. They have a perfect safety record and have been flying for over 20 years. We drove out to some launch site. First let me just say they were not able to go the past two days due to rain. We had PERFECT Weather. It was so smoothe, you wouldn't even think you were in a hot air balloon. I heard some guy actually say that you can sit and read a book, and you wouldn't even have noticed we moved. The balloons were divided into 4 compartments. 3 people were in each compartment. It really didn't even seem like we went anywhere. We went around the red rocks of Sedona. Sedona is absolutely beautiful!!! I would go back in a second. And I would stay at the Sky Ranch Lodge again, if nothing else but for the great views!!! I thought when we landed, our balloon was going to tip over. It didn't.
After everything was packed up, we went to another area where we had mimosas and muffins. The nice thing was they kept refilling us. They even said we could decide how much champagne was in the glass. So I picked a lot less juice and more champagne. The juice was orange, mango, and I wanna say tangerine juice. It was delicious.
Once we got dropped back off at the hotel, I laid down and took a nap. When I woke up I went and walked around a bit. Then I got in the hot tub for a little. The pool was a bit cold and we had to check out anyway, so I didn't get in.
We checked out with our 9 bags and went into town again to walk around and shop for gifts and get lunch. I felt so happy and relaxed there. I just felt lazy like I didn't really want to do anything, but enjoy just being there.
Sedona is supposed to be a very spiritual place, with vortexes in different areas. I would have liked to get a reading there just to see what they would say, but since I am unemployed now ha ha I decided not to spend my money on that.
After leaving Sedona we drove up 89 to our next hotel - Cameron Trading Post. I love this hotel!!! It's like a reddish/brown stone buildings in the middle of nowhere. There is a nice restaurant that is affordable inside. There is also the biggest gift shop I ever saw in this place. It's all decorated like Indians, even in the rooms. It's just a really neat place. The view out our back is the little Colorado River Gorge or something like that. I will update with more once I remember. They keys are a little unique too. they are a card with a bunch of holes in them.
