Paradise Lost

Here’s the whirlwind recap of our trip to Arizona, which, believe me, was a whirlwind!

At Sandy Coor VFW Post 1433 in Glendale, absolutely one of the friendliest posts we have ever been to! Thanks for the Friday hangover, guys!



The main event- our Princess graduates from Northern Arizona University. Here she is hanging out under Lumberjack cock- guess she needed the shade:



Old Sarge has never seen much of the sights when we’ve been out west before, so we stopped by Montezuma’s Castle at Camp Verde. We also left with $45 worth of elk and buffalo jerky, and I got a copper spinner for the patio- shiny pretty!



Saturday was our last, and my sister and her husband were staying at the Pointe at Tapatio Cliffs Resort. Instead of hanging out at Luke Air Force Base with our $27 a night room, we spent the afternoon and evening over at Tapatio, poolside, with absolutely decadent beverages. God bless my sister, she picked up the tab on this party!



100 degrees and almost no humidity. How could I have forgotten how great that can be?
Bumper to bumper traffic and block fences, smog and freeways. How could I even consider wanting to go back?
