Back to the real world

We are back from our weekend trip to Sedona, I really had no idea it would be so beautiful and peaceful there, it's known as a sort of artist's retreat and I completely understand why now. being up in the fresh air with all of the mountain landscapes, clouds and trees, you really forget your in Arizona a mere 2 hours away from normalcy.


As promised here are some pics of the Amara Resort where we stayed.

The Amara Resort exterior shot

the courtyard

A guest room (our room was actully bigger but we didnt take photos unfortunatly)

The room had a whirlpool bath perfect for two ;)

The room had windows all around with a private patio at each

A small water feature in the courtyard

Another shot of the courtyard

From the end of the courtyard you can see oak creek

The courtyard was filled with amazing art.

My favorite piece of art in the courtyard.
