Okay, here is the part where I’m supposed to tell you all the great places to visit around Phoenix. I’m sure there are a lot of them but I don’t get around much so forgive me if this is not the best list. Although if I were still in So Ca I would have plenty to write about but I’m not so here we go…
If you like hiking (which I do not) there is South Mountain Park where I’m sure you can see many more cactus like this one and a few rattle snakes too.
I’m sure it’s a beautiful view but cactus, snakes, and tarantulas just aren’t my thing.
Okay but really some places I do like to go are…
The Phoenix Zoo where this beautiful Macaw lives
The children’s Museum, how cute is this?
…and of course our wonderful dowtown where you can eat, drink, or catch a game. Go Suns and Diamondbacks!
That completes my tour of Phoenix, Az. It is about 20 miles from me but there really is nothing to do where I live except eat and shop which I already covered in my previous posts. Hope you liked it! I definitley enjoyed touring around everyone elses’s hometowns.

The places I love in the Phoenix area are outside of town. I especially love the drive to Saquaro Lake for a great hamburger and views of the lake. I like the drive to Lake Rosevelt and to Canyon Lake. The Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a great place to go from October to April. http://ag.arizona.edu/BTA/location.html
I am ready. Lets go!

Sounds like a nice trip. We are in Los Angeles city and have to drive to find anything to do. I thought it odd that a shopping cart is in the photo, guess they want visitors to buy a lot at the store or to use for kids to stay secure and not break anything?

Bonnie, I would gladly trade places with you! I could find a thousand things to do in L.A. The shopping cart pic is at the children’s museum everything is fake and kid sized they even have a little kitchen area where they can pretened to make food with real looking sinks, stoves, ovens, and dishwashers. Thanks for the comment!
