Hot Air Balloons floating across the Arizona sunset

In the Evening, there are hot air balloons that float over DW and DH's home. Some nights the sky is peppered with hot air balloons.

However, this night there were only 2 balloons out. There was one morning that Frenchie and I saw 6 balloons floating over the foothills that we were hiking on.

The company that owns these hot air balloons has 4 different designs that are on the balloons.

However, all of the balloons that we saw had the cactus design on the balloon. We did not see any of the other 3 designs.

And if you wanted to you could take a ride on the hot air balloons for the bargain price of $175.00 per person!

It was very cool to see how amazingly beautiful these hot air balloons looked amidst the Arizona sunset!

Mimi's Cafe

Wednesday night in Arizona we went out to eat and decided to try a restaurant that of course we had not been to but a place that DW and DH had not been to also. They had driven by this placed Mimi's Cafe, and every time it was packed. We went there at about 7pm so the main dinner rush was over and we did not have wait to get seated. Our food was fantastic!

DW and DH's burgers were terrific and very HUGE!

My regular size Cobb Salad. It was a very cool presentation because instead of putting all the ingredients on top of each other they were arranged vertically on top of the lettuce!

Frenchie with his gigantic sandwich. Frenchie was impressed the the mushrooms in his sandwich were so big that the mushroom covered the entire length of the bread.

The decor at Mimi's was as delightful as the food. When we looked above our table this is what we saw:

Outside there were absolutely gorgeous flowers!

It was a fantastic and relaxing evening!

Phoenix, AZ - We miss you!

Last week we spent the week in Phoenix, AZ. For spring break Frenchie and I decided that we needed a much needed vacation. We stayed with our friends DW and DH and we had a blast! We did so much, took so many pictures, and have so many things to tell you that I will have to break up the vacation into multiple blogs!

So DW and DH picked us up from the airport and that afternoon we were off to Tommy Bahama's in Scottsdale. Here is the outside of Tommy Bahama's. upstairs there is a patio and down stairs also has dining outside. During the lunch hour, fabulous burgers are served but I could not get over the extraordinary view from our table.

While we were in Scottsdale on Sunday we walked around Keirland Commons (DW and DH help me correct the spelling please :) which is the shopping area around Tommy Bahama's.

Do you notice the clouds or lack there of? It is the middle of March!

Since it is the Easter season all over the shopping area there where grass sculptures cut and shaped into Bunnies.

There is a bar down in the area called Oceans, so it is only fitting that outside the bar and restaurant there is a sculpture of gold dolphins.

Don't worry more amazing photos are on the way!
