Sedona: Slide Rock

Last week Jake and I celebrated our anniversary a little early by taking a trip to Sedona. Rachel stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Knight and had a blast, even though she was sick with a cold and a cough.
We took A LOT of pictures, and Jacob taught me how to use the manual settings and such, so I took even more pictures, practicing using the different settings. So instead of a 40-picture post, I think we'll split the posts up a little.

The first morning we were there I woke up early (even though I was excited to be able to sleep in) and read out on our little balcony and saw the sun rise.

Then I went back to sleep.

After breakfast we drove up towards Flagstaff on a very scenic drive.

We stopped at Slide Rock State Park and hiked around for a while.

I tried to figure out how to get the cool waterfall effect with the camera, though I think we need a tripod because with the shutter speed that slow, it's hard to hold the camera still, even setting it on a(n uneven) rock.

It's a pretty place. If we go again when it's a little warmer we plan on swimming a bit.
