We set a day aside for a road trip to Sedona. It is a 2 hour drive from Phoenix, so you need to designate a full day, but it is well worth it! Even the drive to Sedona is breathtaking-so many Prickly Pear and Saguaro Cactus, gorgeous views and wildlife. As soon as you come into Sedona, you know you are there. It is unlike any other place we have ever been. The massive red rock formations are indescribable and absolutely beautiful. 
Since we were only there for the day, we wanted to pack as much in to our experience. We were told the best way to see the area was on a 4x4 jeep tour, which we did. We had a native tour guide named Jimmy drive us through the brush and teach us all about the land and the way Native Americans made use of the resources. The kids were so interested and enjoyed the bumpy ride. I do have to say we enjoyed the tour, but would recommend a different jeep tour to others. The Pink Jeep Tour is much more adventure-packed and entertaining based on stories I have heard from other friends. We thought it was just more expensive because of the extensive advertising they do, but I guess you really do get what you pay for.
After our tour, we spent some time walking through the quaint downtown and getting some lunch. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the restaurants. Take time to visit the shops and take in the spectacular views that surround you. Don't forget to stop at the Black Cow Cafe for a scoop of Prickly Pear Cactus ice cream. It was a unique flavor and very refreshing.
