Saturday in Sedona

Hooray for "couple quality time" weekend! My parents took the kids Friday night through Sunday morning so that hubby and I could go have some fun. Our morning was suppose to kick off with a hot air balloon ride...but sadly got canceled due to unpredictable winds :( We sent tester balloons up in the air and they didn't fair too well. Bummer. Better the testing balloons than ours, however! If only we hadn't started the day at 4:30am to do it...ugh. Hopefully better luck next time!

I was relieved that we had other plans to be in Sedona for the day. We had a booked tour to kayak and then do some wine tasting. It was great! The river was pretty calm but had a few little bumps to make it sort of exciting ;) Our instructor even fell out of his boat while helping another guy off a rock so that was humorous (no worries, the water was only two-three feet deep!) There was only one other couple in our group.






We spent a good hour afterwards back at a close winery to wine taste. We were suppose to taste only five, but our host was pretty generous :) We bought one bottle of wine and he threw in some wine glasses for us to take home too. So sweet!




Not exactly the plentiful, beautiful vineyards of Napa, we'll just have to go back when the grapes are actually growing next time :) We topped it off with dinner afterwards and came back home to have a blissful, quiet night. I was suppose to have a 5k race in the morning but decided that quality sleep without the kids home was more important. Slept in, felt a little refreshed. Can't wait til our next couple weekend!
