Don’t Miss Nellie Bly Boutique! Walking around historic Jerome, we came across by accident Nellie Bly Kaleidoscopes. By far, it is one of the most interesting shops in Jerome. Jewelry, plenty of Kaleidoscopes you can touch and see through. And unusual art work abound. We enjoyed the friendliness of the staff who allowed you to touch any item. They will…
A Delightful Respite When you have that sweet urge, I highly recommend Black Cow in “uptown” Sedona. They are famous for their Coffee Bar, Homemade Pies and Homemade Ice Cream. Originally created by two brothers, this place stands alone for your dessert shop. An extremely popular place for locals and travelers alike, you will find something you like at…
Advantages, Pro and Con Located in “uptown” in Sedona, this motel is located at the beginning of Jordan Street. You can’t miss the large sign on the pole about fifty feet up or so. We had scouted this hotel a year before in mid-March. The owner, Ann, had quoted a price of $99 for a king. Even though…
A Unique Restaurant in Jerome Located on the winding road in Jerome, Arizona, The Haunted Hamburger is a “must do” place to eat. The actual restaurant has since been remodeled but the character still remains. You will find a good meal served here. The owners have three other restaurants in the area and they know how to operate an…
The USS Arizona was one of 20 ships that were hit by the air attack by the Japanese on Dec. 7th, 1941. Unfortunately, the bomb that hit the Arizona went right near the ammunition magazine causing a gigantic explosion and a great loss of life. Over 1000 men died on the Arizona, while a total of 2400 died in…
There is only one Turquoise Room We came for a late lunch. La Posada is an iconic restaurant and hotel, not only of Winslow, but all of Arizona and the American Southwest. The Turquoise Room restaurant is aptly named for its tranquility and great food. It is the best restaurant in eastern Arizona. The prices are reasonable and the ambiance…
If the walls could talk Just image being in the same room that FDR, Einstein, Lindbergh and theDouble Mint Twins slept in? And the price for having this experience was $129 dollars. This is a place for “history aficionados.” We thoroughly enjoyed visiting this landmark hotel built in 1930. La Posada was the last of the Fred Harvey hotels built…
“…such a fine sight to see” I have to be honest, and say I was driving through downtown Winslow, with a bit of rain near dusk, when I saw these men on the corner by a statue. I had no clue. I asked, “What is this memorial about.” I got an earful. Ironically, I listened to the Eagles for…
Easy to miss, but a place you will never forget On the eastern end of Winslow is a small memorial park, known as “Remembrance Garden,” dedicated to everyone involved in 9/11. It is easy to miss and drive by as the two Twin Tower girders look like poles from a distance. I think it was the flag and the uniqueness…
After visiting the Petrified Forest, we had reservations at the Winslow Best Western. We like Best Western’s consistency, comfy beds and small refrigerator. Usually there is a breakfast too. Lee and Mabel Carroll told me that they will be staying at this BW on a future trip. I had originally planned on staying at the famous La Posada…
