Day 1 Itinerary
Places visited: Sedona
Sedona
Today I went on a hike called devils bridge it was very hot and tiring and fun. I saw so many new things like red dirt, red rocks, and red mountains, it was crazy. I even saw a cactus and a lizard. To take a drink, my favorite spot was this little cave. It was scary, but it was fun to go on the devils bridge. It was so high and it was so cool. And when we were walking back we saw a mule deer. It ran about 15 feet in front of us. It was so cool. I didn’t get a picture of that one though because it ran too fast. And then we went to a creek and had our feet in the water and eat our lunch and since I’m a fourth grader instead of paying $11 to get in there it was free and then we came to our hotel and just watched a little bit of Spider-Man 3 because it was on the TV at the time and then we went out to eat at Oak Canyon Pub Grill then you went shopping, although there weren’t too many good stores, and then we saw a sun set and then we saw a full moon. And then we came back to the hotel and I were just watching some TV to go to sleep.
