I’m back in LA after a really fantastic vacation through the wild west. 🙂
Thurs, Oct 8th – Slept in, then went to Doe Mountain for an incredible hike with 360 degree views of Sedona! I didn’t ever want to leave!
After the hike, I had dinner at D’lish, then drove out to Cottonwood to get a tattoo! I got my Valknut put on me! I have always wanted it, and this was the perfect occasion – concluding how amazing of a time I can have spending a week alone in the most beautiful place on earth! I got the valknut in silver/grey with Sedona red-rock red and some amethyst purple in the shading!
Once back at the condo, I packed and headed to bed around 2am.
Fri, Oct 9th – Tried to wake up early, but didn’t manage to leave until 11am. I got to Flagstaff by lunch, and had a fantastic time with John Tompkins and his buddy, Scott, at the Mountain Oasis Cafe. Damn good food! After, we went to a toy store and I bought a magnet and some pop-rocks!
On the drive to Vegas, I drove Route 66, stopping to take photos. The sun set pretty early, and I wasn’t ready to lose the light. Sadly, I didn’t even make it to Kingman before I was seeing only a sky full of stars. It was pretty, but it meant no more photos.
I drove over the Hoover Dam and got to Vegas around 9pm. Jason Unger & I went to Remedy’s for dinner, then got some ice cream and watched Management (a movie with Jennifer Aniston). We both really liked it!
Sat, Oct 10th – Woke up early and went to Dunkin’ Donuts for some coffee, bagel and veggie cream-cheese, and donuts (for the party). I drove home on the 15 and took a nap at a rest stop on the way. I got home around 5pm and John helped me bring up some stuff from the car. After he left, I took a nap, then picked up Evaun for the final party at the Palace.
Upon arrival, I sat with Violet and Greg to watch the end of Big Trouble in Little China. Hilarious! I haven’t seen that movie in years! Then, I went inside and joined John, Jenni, Evaun, and Violet for some Mario Kart Wii, then Rock Band. Kyle showed up during the last round of Kart. He and Violet played some pool, then we went outside to watch Snakes on a Plane on the crazy big screen set up on the lawn.
Barely made it through 3/4 of the movie and was ready to go home and pass out. I took Evaun & Matt home first.
Sun, Oct 11th – Woke up at 2pm or so. Kyle & I went to lunch at Foxy’s, then I came home to unpack from my trip and relax for a bit. It’s been a lazy day. Megan & Maria may come over for a movie. I’m waiting to hear from them now. 🙂
