Rest of Flagstaff trip.

Good morning.Sorry for the delay in finishing this trip, but I've been busy the last few days booking air hotels and a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. But more on that later.
So, while in Flagstaff, we one day drove an hour east, to Meteor Crater.

We'd been here before, but years ago. They've expanded the visitors center, and added more info on the Crater. They even had fossils of animals that were in the area when the Meteor hit. Back then the area was actually a tropical swamp.

It was interesting seeing it all again. Then we headed farther east, to Petrified Forest National Park.

The entire park is littered with chunks of fossilized tree trunks. It's fascinating how this all happened here You have to go online and read about it.

Then, just north of the park is Painted desert National Park.

The colors didn't turn out very good in these pics, but it reminded us of Badlands in South Dakota.

The last day in Flag, (that's what the locals call the city) We window shopped and ate and drank our way around downtown.
It was a fairly short trip. Sunday through Thursday, but had a very nice time and with our big New Orleans trip coming up, it was enough.
