Time Flies

We had a lot of fun with our fabulous hosts and good friends of theirs and the days passed quickly.  A couple of funny things we saw that I want to post so I don't forget about them:

This lit signpost at the walking track says 'Slow movers stay right' !

I could officially hear like a bat

The Kartchner Caves were amazing, we were unable to take photos inside unfortunately but they were unforgettable.

Cool evenings a few nights so we sat around the firepit:

Now we are home and starting to think about Christmas coming, along with the rain and maybe even a bit of snow as this year's vacations have come to an end.

Sedona and Jerome

By eight o'clock this morning we were on our way to see the red mountains of Sedona, and the quaint little town Jerome, which was at the top of a narrow windy road.  We also made a side trip to see a Very old settlement of a village carved into the side of a hill, Montezuma Castle.

Phoenix Sonoran Preserve

Today we drove to the Sonoran Preserve, there is a lot of trails all around there for biking, hiking, and even horseback riding.  The group of us split up to do some of each.

Jo-Anne took her new bike on its maiden voyage.

We shared the trail with some horses as well.

Busy Sports Day

Today we played a variety of sports / games.  Early in the morning there were some of the group of friends going for a long walk, Ted played three variations of tennis, and then we finally all met up to play 18 holes of mini-golf before Happy Hour

A few action shots of Jo and Al, they don't look like novices at all!

Great enthusiasm for the game!

                                                             
                                                                       Great serve!

The start of mini-golf - one there was more talent on display as there were numerous hole-in-ones.  Fun was had by all!

Sun City West

Our first day here we checked out the entire complex where our friends live, there is a lot of stuff to do!  We played mini-golf to start out with, it was fun and the rain held off until we were finished.  It's been a bit chilly but the weather is supposed to warm up considerably over the next day or so, even today it was much nicer out.

We're here!

Home sweet home

Kitty 'Kim' is a snowbird as well!

Fall Getaway

It is 3:00 p.m. and we are now at the San Francisco Airport waiting for our connecting flight to Phoenix area, Sun City West to be exact.
