I told myself not to sleep in 'cause of all the things that we wanted to do and time was running out but I still stayed in bed. Luckily the kids help wake us up and we were able to finally drag ourselves out and about before too late in the morning. I decided that one of the reasons that I was sleeping in so much was that my psychic batteries were running low - planned on two things to get my recharged: 1) a round of golf with the kids and 2) a visit to one of the local vortexes (or is that vortices, I don't know).
Leslie's Dad and I played 9 holes with the boys at Canyon Mesa Country Club, a short par 28 course in Oak Creek. The views were wonderful, the golf was so-so, the boys did pretty well (didn't pound their clubs into the green this time, a victory!). In the end I came away feeling tired, warm, and happy that I didn't let out a string of cuss-words at some of my errant shots.
Dinner was at Cafe Elote, well recommended by guide books and locals. Mexican food done in a more authentic manner; tasty and varied. I also recommend it but agree with the books; plan on showing up right before it opens or you'll have to wait a while for a table!
On the way back we stopped at the Airport Mesa Overlook and watched the sunset. Sadly the sky was really clear so there were no bright colors. But it was pretty anyway. And then on the drive back down we pulled off at the lower trailhead and walked up with the boys to the saddle which is where the Vortex is supposed to be. Now I normally consider myself somewhat attuned to things of a psychic nature, but either my karma was too purple or someone forgot to turn it on. I'll have Leslie check tonight to see if I glow in the dark...
