While Chucklebutt headed to Vegas for Photoshop World, Mom and I headed north to Sedona and Oak Creek. We stayed at my favorite place in all of Arizona:
If you are looking for an incredible Bed & Breakfast, this is it. It’s situated on 9 acres of property in gorgeous Oak Creek. While it is a bit pricey, it is definitely worth it.
This is the entrance to our cabin — Treetop. Chuck and I had stayed here before and I splurged and got it for Mom and I.
I love the old saloon style door. Unfortunately, it was way too hot to leave the windows open.
A view from the inside looking out. Mom was not impressed with the heat. She was moist (like a Duncan Hines Brownie) all weekend. She said she was glistening — after all she is from the south. 😀
We both loved the beds! They were some of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. We spent a lot of time in them catching up on all of our reading.

Our cabin had a full kitchen which was super nice.
One evening while we were relaxing and visiting, Mom noticed something on the ceiling. I immediately freaked out and wouldn’t look at it. Turns out it was a decent sized spider. I told her I couldn’t kill it. Chuck is the designated bug whisperer in our family. Mom took matters into her own hands and promptly flattened that critter with her shoe. I told her she was my hero. Truly! I don’t know what I would have done if she hadn’t been there. 😀
I think the best part of the whole Briar Patch Experience is the grounds.
Check out all that greenery!
I don’t know what this flower is, but it was everywhere.
The local lawnmowers! Too cute.
There were benches and hammocks everywhere. Plus we had our own swimming hole which I went to everyday. In my previous life, I think I may have been a river otter. That is definitely where I am happiest — bobbing along the current of a creek or river.
The other great thing about the Briar Patch is the breakfasts — with live music each morning!
They make some of the best homemade granola and their quiches are muy yummy.
Each morning we ate down by the creek. Decadent and relaxing.

Sigh. Too bad every weekend couldn’t be a Briar Patch Weekend.
Stay tuned to see what trouble we could get into. Hint: Mom was able to mark this off her bucket list.
