Oh, Jerome!

My husband and I just got back from a little holiday in Arizona to visit my parents who are gloriously lucky enough to winter there. As it was Tyler's first visit, we decided to fit in as many activities as possible. This meant making the journey up north to see the Grand Canyon, but more on that in another post. En route we took the scenic route and ended up in Jerome. This little art haven used to be the "wickedest town in the West". I think it still is, but with the adolescent definition of wicked, as in, Jerome is super awesome. Yes, I know I am a big nerd. Regardless, here are some photos of Jerome and Sedona!

Folk Art or junk yard? This was the yard of an old brothel turned boutique. Unfortunately for us, they were closed the day we were there.

Best Piece in Town! Another homage to Jerome's wild west past.

Jerome has a burgeoning wine industry. Who'd a thunk it? For $8 you can do a tasting. Of course we couldn't resist!

This photo really speaks to what Jerome is. The ruins of industry but now strangely beautiful.

The view the residents and visitors of Jerome are gifted with every day. It really is "North America's Most Vertical City."

This church was at the top of my dad's Sedona sightseeing wishlist. It truly is a wonder built right into the rocks.

At the Tuzigoot ancient ruins. They had quite a view themselves!
