Weekend Run-Down: Sun City Getaway

Nick and I went to Arizona to visit his parents at their "winter home" last weekend.  It was a great weekend of hiking, visiting a fine art & wine festival, watching football, and of course, eating and drinking! 

The beginning of our hiking trail

Lots of cacti along the trail!

We sipped wine and listened to the harpist and flutist play modern songs such as "I Gotta Feeling" and "Soul Sister"



We boarded the plane Sunday leaving sunny 70 degree weather to come home to snowy 30 degree weather.  Right now I don't need to go anywhere (thanks to the MLK Jr. holiday) so I'm enjoying the beautiful scenery from my living room window.  Snowy photos to come!

  1. I just Facetimed with my parents - they are in Scottsdale right not! I told them they are coming home to much colder weather!

  2. Glad you enjoyed your weekend in AZ! Weather sounds so much better there than this cold weather we're experiencing. I'm happy that it sounds like your 2012 is off to a good start ;)

  3. That is definitely the biggest cactus I have ever seen. Beautiful scenery and (looks like) lovely weather.

  4. I'm so jealous! I used to go to AZ annually when I was younger. I remember that we'd be in t-shirts and shorts and everyone who actually lived there would be in jeans and windbreakers :) hope you had a great time!
