Spring Break in Yuma, Part III

For our final full day in Arizona, we headed to Phoenix to enjoy the big city life (and so Karen, Wes, and I could be close to the airport for our 6 AM flight).

Our car arrangement... this took some work. Martha and I were in the front seats, Alex and Luke are in the middle row (Alex is rear facing), and Madison, Karen, and Weston are in the back (Wes is rear facing). Three adults and four kids all in car seats... we were very full!


A few pictures of the desert on our drive to Phoenix. It is a three hour drive from YPG to Phoenix, desert the whole way.


After lunch at Karen's favorite Mexican restaurant from her childhood, Macayo's, we headed to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. Even though it was very hot, I loved the gardens because I got to take some wonderful desert scenery photographs.



A rare sighting of a desert whale... oh wait, that's me.



We even go to see a butterfly exhibit. Madison and Luke really seemed to enjoy this.





After the botanical garden, we were all exhausted so Martha dropped Karen, Wes, and I off at the hotel. Weston summed up the trip best with this picture...

Thanks to Edward, Martha, Madison, Luke, and Alex for showing us such a good time!
