What could be better? Books AND cocktails? Get out of town!

Dutch Bros Coffee

Best coffee near our house. Love them!

Arizona Science Center

I hear younger kids like it.

Mystery Castle

John and I went there years ago and we STILL talk about it. It's so odd, you either love it or hate it. We had a great time talking to the woman who owned it/lived there.

HIKING!!!

Arizona has great hiking. This website lists trails, describes difficulty and gives directions to trail heads. Take plenty of water.
