Flagstaff

So Darshon had this incredible hankering to get out of the heat and up into the pine trees and I am so glad she did. We went up just for one night last weekend and it was a perfect trip. Saturday afternoon a big thunderstorm came in and it rained for just an hour or so and then it was sunny and glorious and cool. We shopped and ate outside. We stayed in a "haunted" hotel, The Monte Vista. Though we never saw any ghosts, we did stay in The Robert Englund room who played Freddy Krueger. Hahaha!! Love the orange walls. What you don't see is the gold metallic border on the top.



The highlight for me: Touring the Riordan Mansion. It was 13,000 square feet of Arts & Crafts style wonderfulness. I don't know what it is about old houses that makes my heart sing. And especially one as unique as this with so much history and beauty. It is preserved so wonderfully with original furnishings from the home.
