Remembering Sedona with Buds

On June 1, 2018, me and Chris carpooled to work on Friday. I got off at 12:30 and headed to pick up Chris. From there, we hit the road to Sedona.

Mike and Edie had booked the weekend at Sedona Summit Resort and invited us to join them. Our room was awesome! We had a full kitchen, dining area, living room and two master bedrooms. We also had a nice patio as well.

M & E had spent the morning out at the creek and Edie caught three trout. She didn't even have a fishing pole- I guess you could say that she's a pretty good fisher.

We went to the store and bought some GINORMOUS ribeye steaks. Grill-master Mike grilled all the meat and fish to perfection- the dude can really grill! After our delicious feast, we asked if they wanted to play Cards Against Humanity and found out that they had never played! They loved it, and we played for hours!

Chris and I had gone to Fry's for supplies and found a cart of discount alcohol. One of the workers told us we should get the bottle of Drambuie. She told us that when she wants to be fancy when she has guests, she serves them vanilla ice cream with Drambuie poured over the it, and then adds Pirouette cookies to the side. We thought that sounded pretty yummy- so we followed her directions and served it for dessert. Oh my gosh! SO GOOD! I highly recommend.

On June 2nd we woke up to breakfast made by Mike. Eggs with left over steak. Yum!

We drove Mike and Edie to Broken Arrow Trail. The boys climbed to the top of Submarine Rock. I love all the amazing views and lookout areas on that trail.

 

 

 

We stopped and had a picnic under the truck's awning and watched the Pink Jeep tours do a crazy obstacle. It was funny to watch some of their reactions.

 

 

Chris let me and Mike take turns driving on some of the last obstacles. I was scared though because Chris was spotting by standing in front of the truck. I was too nervous thinking I might run him over by standing so close. Mike did great though!

We headed to Oak Creek Brewery next. I loved my Kung Fu Kolsch and my Nut Brown Ale. Delish! We like going to the original brewery instead of the big grill. There is often live entertainment and they have Mexican food you can order and a popcorn machine. It's tucked back away from the main road- like a hidden gem.

After our tasty brews, we headed back to the resort and went to the pool. The water felt amazing! Chris, Mike and Edie got in the hot tub for a bit, but the pool felt too good to leave.

We went back to the room where I made baked ziti. Chris made us Irish car bombs, and we played Cards Against Humanity again. Edie loved that game so much, I ordered an expansion pack to take with us next time.

On June 3rd Mike and Edie headed home. Me and Chris hung out for a bit, but decided to go home and pick up the doggies and the VR and take it out to mom and dad's house. Joe and the kids were there, and Levi had called me the day prior asking if we'd come hang out. Mom and dad grilled hamburgers, and we played Beat Saber on VR until after 9pm. We were beat- but is was a great weekend.
