After Thursday’s YOUphoria event with Nordstrom, the boyfriend and I took off on a little road trip for a couple days.  The fine folks over at Cadillac provided us with a sweet SRX, so we hit the road in comfort and style.  (Seriously, it was nice.)  On Friday we headed up to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is one of our favorite places to visit.  If you’ve never been to the North Rim, it really is a must-see.  The weather and scenery are much different from the South Rim, and the accommodations are my favorite.  There’s a comfy, cozy lodge with amazing back patio areas for taking in the Canyon, and everyone stays in little log cabins.  Since it’s a national park, everything is pretty affordable but also usually booked up far in advance.  (If you live close enough, there are usually day-of cancellations, which is how we scored an awesome cabin.)  On Saturday morning we headed south to Sedona, Arizona, another one of our favorite places to visit.  It’s true what they say: there really is something about Sedona.  It’s so peaceful, and the city is really beautiful.  From there, we headed out to Scottsdale for the final night of our trip.  I hadn’t been before, so I was excited to see the city.  We checked into The Saguaro Hotel, which I loved.  Everything was so bright and cheerful, and the pool was pretty hard to beat.  After a delicious lunch at the hotel’s Distrito Restaurant, we started the LONG drive back.  We got home overfed and pretty pooped, but it was SO worth it.  We had an amazing long weekend, and I already can’t wait to plan our next road trip.  (Thanks so much to Cadillac for hooking us up with a ride and inspiring our little get-away!)
