A Road Trip to Arizona (Day 4)

Mother's Day with Lizzie (missed you Sandy)

Sunday, May 12, was Mother's Day. 
We drove on 89A to the Red Rock Park area in the morning . A beautiful drive.


Cathedral Rock

Lizzie made a reservation at one of the best Restaurants in Sedona, The Hudson, for lunch.  It has a wonderful view of some great rock formations. We decided to sit inside next to the outdoor patio. Our waiter came and went? and we waited until a different, nicer waiter came to take our order, he apologized for the first waiter disappearance. I opted for one of the house specialties, chicken pot pie, it was huge, and it was the best  I'd ever eaten. Lizzie had the Croque Monsieur, it was good but not enough bechamel, but a lot of ham!  Our waiter brought us dessert, with his compliments, because of the delay in the service.
I could only eat half of it. It was delicious!!!
 

After lunch, we drove to Oak Creek Village. It was a very nice, scenic drive. We took pictures of the Bell Rock and Courthouse Rock. We really enjoyed it.

After the drive,  we went to the house to check how Lulu was doing and to rest for a while.


Lots of quails in the neighborhood.

In the evening, we (and Lulu) drove to the airport, because we heard it was the best place to see the sunset. It was a short drive and we found a good parking spot.




WONDERFUL

We went back home and had charcuterie and beer, I also warmed up the rest of the chicken pie :)

It was our last night in beautiful Sedona. 
I had a wonderful time.
Thanks Lizzie for everything.
