Arizona + Bon Voyage!!!

After we got our fill on my mother's cooking we took a long drive to Lake Powell in Utah! We grabbed the paddles and enjoyed a nice kayak ride on the lake. Fortunately, the summer rush had ended and we had the entire place to ourselves.

Champion Kayakers!

The Buhay Family + Michelle

The crystal, clear waters of Lake Powell

My brother is a student at Arizona State University and we got tickets to a college football game. They laid a whoopin' on the Colorado Buffaloes.

Michelle got hungry once she saw this banner, haha...

This cougar (and I use that term loosely) had some Nike Pumps on!

We found out what Lil' Bow Wow is doing now a days! ASU Stadium Security, lol

Happy Halloween!!!

My grandparents came into town and they treated us to some off-roading adventures in Sedona. The guide gave my grandpa some reiki healing while on the trails.  I haven't seen them in 5+ years and Michelle was very excited to meet them.

A beautiful family + beautiful views

It's Snoopy

River crossing...

The story goes... McDonalds wanted a store in Sedona and as you already have noticed the arches are not golden but rather turquoise. The city stated that this color was more indicative of Sedona's style. McDonalds took the city to court and they LOST!

We took a small trip to Old Scottsdale

We are full!!!

 Michelle and I would love to thank my family for taking care of us for these past 15 days. From food, to outings, and spending money; we can't wait to share pictures and stories with them. In approx. 9 hrs we will beginning our journey to Thailand. We can't wait to see what SE Asia has in store for us!!!
