Sedona, Arizona

Since Sedona is only about 30 minutes from Camp Verde, we took a day trip.

We've been here many times before but each time we go, we are in awe of the beauty.

One of the most famous rock formations might be 'Snoopy'.  Use your imagination - head on the left, tummy in the middle, feet on the right.  Can't you just see him lying on his dog house?

So many artistic things to see - these people had the right idea. We took one of these tours years ago with Ron's work group and it was a blast!

The main street is very cool.

There's something for everyone.

The sculptures are beautiful.

Red Rocks and the Cowboy Artist

A perfect time to raise some money for charity.

Since it was Halloween the city was decked out.

Boo!

Eeeeeeeek!

And then it was time for lunch and we made it to one of our favorite spots.

Check out our view from the patio.

We got back in the truck to see some of the sights.

One of the most famous homes in Sedona is the House of Seven Arches.

The house was built in 1978 by Herb Winebarger with the help of the Ball Brothers.  Herb sold the home to someone in Lucille Ball's family.  It has been sold several times over the years but for over 30 years, tours and locals have referred to the home as "Lucy's House" because Lucille Ball and her brother, Fred Ball, individually owned several properties in the surrounding area.  The Ball family stated that Lucy owned the entire hillside where the house is currently located.  The house is now owned by one of the former Doublemint Twins and for some years the twins lived together in the home.  A mannequin resembling Lucy can be seen on the balcony and Santa has been known to join her during the Christmas holiday.  You can barely see the mannequin on the balcony to the right of the right American flag.

On the way out of town we stopped to see some of the other rock formations.

Cathedral Rock

Bell Rock

It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed our visit.
