well, we are back.  ben and i [and baby girl, of course] just wrapped up our week away in sedona.  it was marvelous.  cooler weather.  lots of outdoor time.  hiking.  swimming.  reading.  relaxing.  wandering.  sight-seeing.  game-playing.  movie-watching.  and plenty of eating.  and yes, we even made s’mores.  just what the doctor ordered.  we returned home feeling refreshed with a hint of sadness that vacation was over.

we got some great snaps during our week away that i am excited to share.  plus, it is fun to kind of relive the week through a pictorial tour.  i must warn you – there are a lot of pictures.  AND, even more to come tomorrow.

here are some of my favorite miscellaneous images from sedona.  consider this a quick overview of the week.  tomorrow’s post will be dedicated to scenery and hiking adventures…
