Life is normally juggling chainsaws lately.
This week is "Fall Break" for one monkey, one has a different school program and one is in college. Today, we rolled out, as college monkey had no class today, and was going ahead of schedule for her internship work...
First stop was in Williams. This is a kind of bobsled deal. It's an individual sled, and it takes you up to the top of a north face with a cool view...for a few seconds. Then you're rolling down hill through the trees. No loops, very kid friendly...Couldn't pull my phone to take pics
Walked old town Williams. Tourist trap, but still fun. Better than Oatman I feel, and lots of SxS's and bikes this time of year.
The goal was to eventually hit Flagstaff...but went the long way.
Basically, because why not?
Rolling the northern route, went up near Snow Bowl to see some fall colors. Not quite turned, but close.
We went to "Bookman's" in Flag. They sell used books and music. About as close as I can get to being around some of those areas...kind of becoming San Francisco in the mountains...but the kids had fun, and got a couple books.
Ate dinner at a Filibertos, and headed south.
Rolled down 17, which is getting better since last winter. Stopped in Camp Verde for ice cream off the dollar menu at McDonald's, and headed back over the hill and home.
Not a huge trip, nothing fancy or super special, but still kind of was.
Simple things...
