Day 34 of Miami to Alaska Family Road Trip: Sedona’s Wonderful Red Rocks


Sedona, Arizona is one of our favorite places in the whole United States so on the 34th day of our family road trip we ventured to see some of the things that makes this place so special.   Here’s seven things that we think make Sedona a terrific family destination:

- The red rock canyons.  These rocks are everywhere and they especially shine “reddest” at sunrise and sunset, the best time to photograph or video tape them.

- Slide Rock Park.  This park features a large spring that has natural water chutes that propel you through the rocks.  One part of the park also features a canyon with 12 foot cliffs that you can dive into the water from.  The water is frigid but your body will get used to it.  Diving from the 12-foot cliff is scary and exhilarating at the same time.

- An easy and great place to hike and bike.  The hiking paths in particular are not hard and offer beautiful walks right up to the red canyons.  This is like walking among the lower parts of the Grand Canyon. (more…)

Day 15 of the Miami to Alaska Family Road Trip: Exploring the Disney Wonder

The Golden Mickey's was a major highlight of our second day aboard the Disney Wonder. Broadway quality revues with Disney characters makes this cruise uniquely suited for families like ours.

We love to travel and live in Miami, cruise ship capital of the world.  We’ve been to nearly every state in the nation, trekked thru chunks of Europe and seen most of Latin America.  My wife and I have even been to Rwanda and the Congo in hard to reach central Africa.

Despite our extensive travel history, we don’t have anything to show for cruise ships.  Our Disney Wonder voyage to Alaska is my wife’s first cruise and only my second.

On this second day of our great journey to Alaska, (more…)
