You know you have gone to far when your wife, who comes from a long line of Roman Catholics, is looking for some holy water, a cross, or perhaps even a silver dagger to slay your momentary burst of frustration.
The Inn at 410, in Flagstaff, Arizona, is a most wonderful place to lie your head after a busy day of sightseeing in northern Arizona. This 1894 6,000 square foot mansion, built in the craftsman style, is sure to have every appointment that a discriminating traveler might expect.

Arizona skies present the photographer many great opportunities. I just witnessed this scene outside my home office window, and quickly ran out and captured it.
As we walked through the blanket draped over the doorway to keep the draft out, we found ourselves gazing upon a delightful diner with artwork from local artists on the walls, a mild smell that lets you know that you are in a building likely over 100 years old mixed with wondrous breakfast smells from the kitchen, and the beaming smile of Jennifer (pictured with Carol) our waitress.
Today we made our journey up the mountain to Flagstaff. When we left Scottsdale, at 9:00 a.m., it was 60º, and when we made it to Flagstaff, two hours later, it was 31º. As we made our climb we saw patches of snow at 5,000 feet, deep snow at 6,000 feet, and gobs of snow in Flagstaff at 7,000 feet.
This weekend we have planned the maiden journey for The Roaming Boomers travel and adventure website. When we noticed that Flagstaff was having its 24th Annual Winterfest, we thought this might be a fun little excursion to try out our travel planning systems.
Assuming nice weather, we have a date set to visit the Arizona Renaissance Festival. It should be colorful and fun!
