Welcome to Flagstaff!

This year for the week of Christmas, my family and I went to Flagstaff. As we traveled from Mesa to Flagstaff, we went from sun to snow. It was a different experience. Because we do not live in snow, we were not used to the driving conditions.


It was very cold!

When we got here, we went to Sizzler for lunch. Since we don't have a Sizzler in Mesa, we eat it as much as we can.

After we checked into our hotel, went to the Lowell Observatory to see the holiday show. Unfortunately it was snowing enough that they sent the employees home and closed it up for the night. So we went to Walmart instead.I did not really think about the weather when I packed for this trip so I packed a couple pairs of Converse and my marching shoes. Well, I can tell you from this experience that when you walk through snow in Converse, your feet freeze. So we spent a couple of days and looked in a couple of different stores trying to find shoes that will work for the snowy weather. We got lucky and went to Big 5 and found some really cute boots.

Well, now I know that when we are going on a trip check all weather conditions and make sure what I packed is good for the situation. I definitely learned from this situation.
