rox

the husband and i escaped the heat this weekend.

we drove up to flagstaff by way of sedona.

gorgeous. the red rocks of sedona are truly a sight for sore, tired eyes.

we stopped at the cowboy club for lunch. i tried cactus fries. nopalitas cactus. breaded and deep-fried. it didn't help. tasted like soggy green beans cooked in too much vinegar. sigh. i'm glad i tried 'em.

we arrived in flagstaff. the difference in degrees was amazing. brilliant.

for dinner, tinderbox kitchen. jalapeno mac-n-cheese, duck leg confit, garlic crumbs, truffle oil. red wine. delish!

we tried to spot the moon at the lowell observatory (read: i am a night sky freak). cloudy night + sliver of waxing moon = no telescope viewing for sophie. sad. but we did get passes to come up again. and trust me, we will.

it just keeps getting hotter!
