Route 66 – East of Flagstaff
We shouldn't have included the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest into this day trip. The drive back was way too long, and into the sun.
Route 66 – West of Flagstaff
We spent many hours on Route 66 on 2 day-trips. Lots of history, nostalgic signs, old cars, burger joints and burros took us back in time.
A Castle and a Ghost Town
Day 3 was a splendid day with a stop at Montezuma Castle and lunch atop the "J" mountain in Jerome. Both were relaxing and full of history!

Day 2 included two great stops that were pretty close to Sedona to make this a wonderful (relatively short) day.
Day 1: MKE to PHX to Sedona
This post starts off with great Mexican food and an alternate route to get us off the Interstate and into our fabulous Arizona vacation!
