I miss him.

back roads.

So Zach and I went on our first overnight getaway together in almost 5 years. Wow. That's pathetic. We went to Sedona... one of my favorite places in the world (which I guess isn't saying much since I haven't been many places, but still). Most of the day was spent off-roading and hiking. So fun! I wish I had video of Zach's truck crawling up the rock. It was nuts. Zach had a lot of faith in his Chevy, but I was skeptical at first... can you blame me?







After that it was my turn to play. I made Zach hike in his flip flops so I could shoot some stream pics. They don't do the place justice.
