(since we took a lotta pictures, I'm going to break our trip into a few posts. Be sure to check out the video link. I uploaded a ton of videos from the past two weeks. I've been a little camera-happy!)

Flagstaff Part 1 -- Meteor Crater

We went to Flagstaff, AZ for a week right after New Years with some friends who also have a 6-month-old baby.We hadn't used the timeshare yet nor had been to Flagstaff before. It had been a while since we'd been in snow and seen mountains covered with the white stuff so we were excited about this trip for a number of reasons.

It took us about 6 hours to drive up there and it was a pretty easy drive. And very pretty. The timeshare "room" we had was really a tri-level condo of sorts. One bedroom on the bottom floor, one on the middle floor (also where the front door was) and the top floor was the kitchen/dining/living area. It was really nice; a perfect setup for two small families.

Ahh, what a great sight to see!

About a half hour drive away there is a big crater formed from a meteor which hit the Earth about 50,000 years ago. Its called Meteor Crater ..... appropriately named, I think! Anyway, we headed out there with Jed (Molly stayed home with Mikey since the poor little guy got sick the first few days we were there). It was really incredible! I don't remember the exact figures for how big it was, but it was large!

I thought it was pretty cool to see the flat, flat ground, the winding road and the great big snow-covered mountain in the back!
