The road trip is over, but the vacation continues

We headed out of Chicago today, which signified the end of our road trip. We are going home via Sedona for some time with L's family. O'Hare was busy, and it was strange to be in an airport instead of driving places.

 We flew out on October 31st, the last day of Pink October (breast cancer awareness month).

 It was a very rainy day and a very busy time on the runway.

 But we got up and on our way smoothly.

 And soon we were into better weather...

 ...with mountain ranges...

 ...and waterways.

It felt weird to get out of the car, but would have been extremely long if we'd driven it!

We drove from Phoenix to Sedona and soon saw some familiar sights, including Kokopelli the flute player: the symbol of happiness and joy.

 We took a walk in uptown Sedona at sunset, which was beautiful.

 Red rock country is quite amazing.

We will continue to blog until we get back to Vancouver, even though the road trip of the Eastern US is really done. We are still driving around, but this is for family more than for road tripping. D might try to do some touristy stuff in Sedona because the weather is good and the area is beautiful.
