Downtown Flagstaff is so charming. There are cute historic buildings and homes, murals and fun shops. We drove around early in the day when shops were closed but stopped for some murals. Zara especially, but Beatrix too.
We visited this little library last time. It’s actually near the Coconino Library in downtown Flagstaff.
The little library is in Wheeler Park. I didn’t know the name of this park before but when we noticed Zara and I had to get out and tale a picture to send to Avery who was at FSY. It’s a little joke sort of.
We actually drove on part of the Route 66 a couple times. Mom told me it turns 100 next year!
The hotel is the same as last year. Pretty basic but it’s a good price and has a pool. The water was cold for a warm day. Colder than we are used to but all kids got it and swam for a little bit.
We have visited Thorpe Park several times ever since taking family photos in this area. That was for our 10 year anniversary and we’re coming up on 20 next spring.
The library has a really cool children’s room. Lots of mini boats, castles, dragons and that sort of cool crafty things on the book shelves. There’s a mural on the bathroom door wall and these colorful Alice in Wonderland paintings.
Monday night we grabbed some buy one get one free papa John’s pizza and ate to me near North Morton, my dorm in north campus NAU. The weather was perfect, food was tastey and I’m glad we decided last minute to stay overnight and spend some extra time up north.
We had a slow start since we woke up a bit cold in Flagstaff, we arrived at Slide Rock at 8:30am and it was overcast. Zara started reading and Rupert kept asking when we were going to leave.
