We are at our last stop on our trip out west, marking off another place on my bucket list. We were lucky enough to get a hotel right on the river and this was what we saw. Our balcony that looked down at the river. Looking across the river from our balcony. Dining room where they gave us a […]
My first time seeing a car driven without a human driver, nope not for me! This was the best Mexican food we have ever had. The service was fantastic too! It was so colorful inside. This was the appetizers and a delicious drink. My happy husband. They serve SO much food. Next up is Arizona State Park. Every day […]
Here is the rest of our pictures from Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix Arizona. The temperature was 96 degrees at 4:00 pm in March, the only hot day in our two week vacation. Did you know that the Saguaro Cactus take 50-100 years before the arms start to grow? Cactus flowers in Arizona bloom from mid-February to mid-June. Next Wednesday […]
The Botanical Garden and Butterfly Exhibit was so much fun. We were on the road and a sign on the highway said this exit is Johnny Rockets. We haven’t seen a Johnny Rockets since we were kids, we had to go! We followed the signs and they led us to this casino. In the parking lot was a man […]
Sedona, Arizona is a picturesque desert town known for its stunning red rock formations, vibrant arts, and spiritual vortexes. You can enjoy hiking, jeep tours, unique shops and galleries. The beautiful rock formations continue to be something we have never seen before. Driving into this quaint little shopping strip was so much fun! Clear Creek Trading Company was the first […]
I was excited to see the Grand Canyon as it has always been on my bucket list. Look what greeted us in the parking lot of our Drury Hotel in Flagstaff Arizona! Luckily that was the only place there was snow. The Drury Inn & Suites had a huge surprise when we checked in. They gave each of us three […]
Welcome to Arizona’s Painted Desert! Of all the places we went to, this was my favorite! I have never seen anything this beautiful without seeing trees, plants, grass or water. Living in Ohio we have plenty of beautiful places to see, but nothing like this! The Painted Desert is 160 miles long and 93,500 acres! I had no idea what […]
More pictures from our driving adventure out west. Some pictures are from old Route 66 and others are places we stopped at. I was impressed by how well maintained most of the open businesses on old Route 66 looked. How cool would it be to sleep in a wigwam! OK maybe not, but I had to get a picture. I […]
We arrived at the Cadillac Cars and the street was lined with parked cars. The concrete barrier and pavement were covered in spray paint. It was fun reading where people came from and their messages. This is where you bought the spray paint and how they make their money to keep going. By the looks of the truck and trailer, […]
On our vacation out west we discovered the fun at Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brewery on Rt 66 in Amarillo, Texas. Learn how to tackle the 72 oz steak challenge and enjoy delicious food. The signs may need a touch up but the restaurant was wonderful! I wonder if they are trying to keep the kids out? Front of […]
