It began with rain and lightning that morphed into fleecy clouds and a trip to see the largest Navajo rug in Arizona, a visit to the 911 memorial in Winslow and a walk along a 50,000-year-old meteor crater.
Recently, more than 30 residents along with Nada Kennon, event coordinator for the Royal Oaks LifeCare Community, spent two-days in Winslow. They first checked into the La Posada Hotel, built in 1927 by the Santa Fe Railway and Fred Harvey.
At one time, La Posada was considered the finest hotel on Route 66 and various celebrities overnighted there. With the demise of railroad traffic, La Posada was closed in 1957; but refurbished and reopened in 1997.
