From Sedona’s Dark Skies to Canyon Sunrise: A Train Ride, Slow Days, and Feeling Good in Your Body

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I’m sharing a detailed recap of our recent Sedona and Grand Canyon family trip — from red rocks and slow mornings to a scenic train ride to the South Rim that turned into a birthday memory we’ll never forget.I talk about staying at the Hyatt Vacation Club at Pinion Pointe, why Sedona being an International Dark Sky Community matters, and how we’ve learned as a family that we don’t need to jam-pack every vacation to make it meaningful. Instead, we do what we can, enjoy it fully, and keep a list of what we’ll come back for next time.I’m also sharing how I support my body while traveling — including:My simple grocery strategy and “plug-and-play” travel mealsHow I enjoy one meal out a day without feeling inflamed or bloatedWhy hydration, tea at night, and skipping alcohol make such a differenceGentle movement, early-morning gym sessions, walking, and resting when neededWhy travel bloat happens (especially with flying and elevation) and what actually helpsI’’ll cover highlights like:Visiting Montezuma Castle National Monument (a perfect family stop with fascinating history)Pool days, books, ping pong, and doing less on purposeWalking the South Rim Trail at the Grand CanyonLunch at Bright Angel Lodge and sitting in the historic lodge areaRiding the Grand Canyon Railway, where the train sang Happy Birthday to my sonWhere we stayed:https://www.hyattvacationclub.com/destinations/sedona-arizona/pinion-pointeOther Resources:Visit Sedona | The official site of the Sedona Tourism BureauGrand Canyon Train | Grand Canyon Railway & HotelMontezuma Castle National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)Grand Canyon National Park (U.S. National Park Service) I'd love and appreciate a 5 star review, and sharing my content with a friend who might love to listen!Find me on Instagram for daily life, tips and fun content: @wellness.with.virginiaHelpful Links:Join my 21 Day Reset: https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/?aid=wellnesswithvirginiaWant to try a FREE workout and try my FAVORITE seasonal crock pot dishes?Free FASTer Way 30-Minute Workout: https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/workout-free?aid=wellnesswithvirginiaFree Crockpot Meal Guide: https://www.fasterwaytofatloss.com/guide/crockpot-meals?aid=wellnesswithvirginiaMy favorite high quality protein use this for a discount!https://www.equipfoods.com/WELLNESSWITHVIRGINIA
