Part 1: DESERT

"A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in"
 --Robert Orben

Summer vacation 2011: Arizona

We awoke bright & early and flew into Phoenix. Our agenda? See some desert sites and spend a lot of time splashing in beautiful resort pools.

Mission accomplished.

Vacation, part 1: DESERT


"Wow, we're really high in the sky! It's windy up here."


(Mom, being "creative")


One of the coolest locations for a chapel - ever.


Cougar went everywhere with us - including a morning hike over rocky terrain. He was quite a trooper.


Our desert oasis for the first few nights


"Mommy, is this Snow White's castle? I think it is!" (Actually, Mission San Xavier near Tucson)


Amelia dubbed Arizona "very cactusy".


Tombstone - very dusty. And the site of the shootout at the OK Corral.

Check in tomorrow for Vacation, Part 2: WATER FUN!
