Sedona/Grand Canyon Trip

I finally got around to posting about my week-long trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. A trip to Sedona is not complete without hiking. So, we went hiking almost every single day. I think it's safe to assume that this is the most hiking we've all done in a long time (with the exception of Joanna, of course). Despite the wind blowing dust into our eyes and mouths, the views at the top were definitely worth it. What I love most about Sedona is how beautiful and still it can get. But without a doubt, the highlight of this trip was seeing my friends again.
