Flagstaff was my second favorite, although it was much colder than Phoenix. This was the first place we stayed overnight. We ate the best Mexican food at Casa Bonita, which was around the block from our hotel. My husband enjoyed it so much that he was tempted to backtrack to Flagstaff just so he could enjoy another meal. But we had a long drive to visit other places, which you’ll see.

The next morning, we went to see the Lowell Observatory. Unlike my city, you don’t have to drive up a steep mountain to get to Flagstaff’s observatory. Just as we got out of the car, the wind started picking up.

This spoiled the tour for me a bit, as I’m very sensitive to hot and cold. Fortunately, we didn’t have far to walk from building to building. My family and I love watching space exploration documentaries, so this was a treat.
