It's going to be a hot one

I woke up early.....too early but with the time change it was almost 7:00 a.m. for me and I just couldn't sleep.  I quietly got dressed and went down to the front lobby.  I stuck my head out the front door to "check" the temperature.  It was actually very beautiful.  They are predicting a very warm day and we have to be cautious.  Last night Ralph and I bought a small cooler to keep our water from getting too warm and the people at the front desk were kind enough to offer to chill it and freeze our "freezer pack" so will be good for the drive to Page.

The following is the forecast for today.

We were on the road by 6:5 and arrived in Sedona by 8:30.  We enjoyed breakfast and then took in some scenery before heading for Page. There was 5 wildfires going on near Sedona so it was very hazy. It took us another 3,5 hours to get there,  The drive was amazing,  There was so much change in scenery.

First sighting of The Grand Canyon.

This evening we went on a tour of Antelope Canyon by water,  It was very beautiful.
