...One Year Ago Today...
...Jess and I were married...
This weekend Jess and I celebrated by taking a short trip to Sedona.
It is such a beautiful, relaxing place, and as I was looking up things to do in Sedona, most were really expensive.
But then I came across "Out Of Africa"
which is a wildlife park just 30 minutes south of Sedona!
Haha, both Jess and I had gone when we were in like 5th grade and a recent episode of "The Bachelor" sparked our interest in an African Safari
...I can't believe he wore that safari hat the whole time...
ANYWAY!
So we spent most of friday morning and afternoon walking around Out Of Africa. First thing we did was take the African Safari Ride. We all received carrots to feed the giraffe.
Jess was super excited obviously :)
The giraffe stuck his head all the way in the tram and ate all our carrots out of our hands! some people even put the carrot in their mouths and received a giraffe kiss... unsanitary.
...We Saw Zebras...
...Camels...
...and whatever this is...
After the Safari we walked around admiring all the lions and then went to the Tiger Splash Show where people basically taunt tigers with toys and try and get them to jump in the water... didn't work out so well most of the time.
Shhhh... The Lion Is Sleeeeping
Tiger Splash Show
Right before we left we got some AMAZING shots of the lions, National Geographic might wanna give me a call :)
...Cue LOTS of lion pictures...
...My Favorite Picture...
We then headed to Sedona and checked into our hotel, that night we just relaxed and ate at a mexican food restaurant nearby. In the morning we went down to the hotel diner and had a gourmet breakfast
...I LOVE BREAKFAST...
I had scrambled eggs, wheat toast (divine), sausage (should have picked bacon), and roasted potatoes (soooo good)
Jess chose ham, cheese, and bell pepper omlet with roasted potatoes
After breakfast we ventured outside and took a walk down the creek that runs behind the hotel. This is the GORGEOUS view from the hotel grounds.
This is what Jess gets for buying me such an awesome camera for my birthday!
And finally,
the view from our hotel room balcony
...why can't mesa look like this...
It was such a great getaway and so fun to spend time with Jess.
Happy One Year!

Happy anniversary, you guys! Sounds like a really fun getaway. AWESOME lion pics!
Oops. I guess I left that last comment under Grant's profile. He keeps signing in on my computer to work on school projects.
So glad you were able to get away for a few days . . . and even had time for a safari! Happy Anniversary! I loved planning your wedding with you!
