Get-Away Weekend { Phoenix area }

Earlier this month, Brian and I had a wonderful get-away weekend. Brian did all the planning. All I had to do was pack our bags and get in the Jeep. On Friday the 4th, we drove to the Phoenix area and stayed two nights at the very nice Talking Stick Hotel and Casino in Scottsdale. That night, we went to see the Dodgers lose against the Giants in a spring training game in Glendale. On Saturday, we headed out to the Apache Trail but first, we stopped in Goldfield- an old mining town. Then off we go to drive along the beautiful Apache Trail. Here are several snaps taken that weekend.


Camelback Stadium was nice and the Dodger dogs were good.
We sat at the end of the left field seating area. Look closely, you can
see Brian in the bottom photo.
A few Goldfield snaps.





I think Brian broke the scale.


The Apache Trial is a National Forest Scenic Byway.
