Jackie and Steve and the kids arrived Sunday night around 08:00PM. This visit was their 1st to Sedona since Christmas 2010 and their 1st Thanksgiving here since November 2008. Quite a long time! I was very happy to see them again in Sedona. However, Sunday night I felt exhausted from running up Thunder Mountain that morning, so I passed on visiting them that night (I was too busy passing out from exhaustion!).

Monday morning I took care of various errands. I went over to Marc's house in the afternoon and visited with everybody. Jackie and Steve gave me the blow by blow on how they were delayed arriving into Phoenix and how grateful they were for Known Traveler Numbers. We caught up on recent events/adventures (i.e., what has happened since Jackie's Birthday). I then returned home to prepare for dinner and pick up Adele.

We all converged on the restaurant around 05:15PM (in regards to the Classic WHO song). Our friend and Marc's neighbor Steve graciously waited on us. The food was spectacular as usual. If I recall correctly, Marc and Steve discovered a new red wine that they really liked. I got my usual large Exotica Salad with Seafood Bruschetta and Calamari Dore steak. However, I requested extra sauce this time. And I suspect that extra sauce played a role in how my stomach felt the next day... James talked up a storm with Adele. If I recall correctly, John got a Tiramasu for dessert.
Afterwards, we returned to Marc's house to visit some more. We watched a little TV, while James, John, and Sophia played Nintendo Wii. After an hour or 2 of visiting, I said my goodbyes. And such was our visit for Monday.
