Wednesday Flood

On Wednesday we had a lot of rain in a short period of time and our driveway flooded. I know nature can be destructive but I still find it to beautiful and fascinating.

Jerome, AZ

Jerome is a great little artist town that used to be a mining town. I will probably write more about the sustainability of Jerome on my sustainability blog at a later time.

We visited the Jerome County Historic Museum

Driving toward Sedona!

The view from our hotel room in Sedona. So amazing!

Camelback Mountain

Today was our first full day in Arizona! We hiked the "extreme" trail on the famous Camelback Mountain. It was a very challenging yet rewarding hike. Very much worth it for the view!

Made it to the top!

Lights on the Lake

Lights on the Lake has been hosted in Onondaga Park by Wegman's for 23 years. For two miles, different themes are created with amazing lights. This event is open from November to January. If you like holiday lights, you will love Lights on the Lake. Tim treated me to this wonderful experience this past Sunday night. It was wonderful. I didn't t take photos of everything because I wanted to take it all in, so I mostly took photos of the different archways that began each theme of lights.

A "school" of fish 

Santa's workshop was full of elves making gifts, Santa and Mrs. Claus,
reindeer, etc.

Gingerbread man jumping over the road. Because of the speed of the
moving lights, my camera caught two segments of the movement.

Entrance to the "Land of Oz"

The frog hops over the road and turns into a prince!

What a great mountain scene int he form of an archway! 

The train says to be positive

Amazing castle arch

Ice Skating Surprise!

Tim surprised me with outdoor ice skating in Clinton Square! I love to ice skate but I had never skated outside before this.
