For Mother's Day I got tickets to the Duran Duran concert in AZ. Mark and I flew down there this past week and had a fun adventure! We got to see Grammy and Papa's new house, and we love it! On Monday we spent the day in Sedona. It's so pretty there! We rented ATVs for a half day and rode out to some fun places. We spent the second half of the day at Red Rock Crossing. We LOVED the ATVs, and want to go back and ride again. It's a fun way to explore the area.
 |
| The first area we rode out to was the Honanki Ruins. The ruins were at the base of the rocks behind me. |

| There were lots of petroglyphs on the walls. |
 |
| The red rock is so pretty! |
 |
| The second area we rode out to was Devil's Bridge. It was a fun ride, and a cool hike! |
 |
| Tricia on Devil's Bridge! |

 |
| Our next stop was Red Rock Crossing. Cathedral Rock is behind Mark. |
 |
| We didn't have time to make it out to Slide Rock, but this place was similar. Lots of people in the river sliding down the slick rock. |
 |
| We could have sat in the river all day. There were deep spots to swim, and shallow spots to sit. My legs were sore from running a half marathon, so it felt really good! |
Sedona was awesome! We wished we could have spent 2 days there. We'll go back for sure!
On Tuesday we went to the Phoenix Zoo and Papago Park.
 |
| Mark was making friends with a snake! |
 |
| This was the most beautiful Lion I've ever seen. He was so healthy looking, and it looked like they had just brushed him! |
 |
| We fed the giraffes! |
A cute swimming bear!
Monkeys!
 |
| We hiked up to Hole in the Rock at Papago Park. |

We got back to Grammy and Papa's just in time for a BIG monsoon storm! It dumped a lot of water in an hour! The streets were flooded, and the common areas in the neighborhood were all underwater. Crazy!
 |
| If you look close at this picture, you can see that the park bench is covered with water up to the actual seat! |
On Wednesday we went and hiked around a couple riparian areas, visited with family, and then it was concert time! The concert was so AWESOME! Chic opened up for them, and they were really good. Duran Duran was so great! They played for a long time, and sounded just as good as they did back in the 80s! Loved it!
 |
| So excited! |
 |
| Great opening act! |
