ANNI IN PAGE?!?

When the mr. and I decided to do a little getaway for our TENTH ANNIVERSARY, everyone told us to do Sedona. So naturally, I decided to do something different. Because that's just who I am. I only had to think for about a minute before realizing that this would be the opportunity to check off my biggest bucket list item for the state of Arizona: Antelope Canyon. The mr. jumped right onboard, despite not being familiar with my choice. We researched things to do, SAFE gluten free places to eat, and where to stay. Words cannot express what an AMAZING time we had. I never would have guess that Page, Arizona could offer so many amazing adventures, but it did not disappoint.
