Day 2 - Phoenix

Our view today from the cabana

Day 1 - Home to Phoenix

Left the pups in the capable hands of Patrick and left for Phoenix.
After a stop in Tucson so Jen could get her Dunkin Donut fix, we
arrived back at the JW Marriott Camelback.

Spent day by pool......and it dared rain on us.

Asia Trip

Not to clutter up this blog and since it is outside the U.S. we have
started a separate blog for this Asia trip. Follow it at:

Our day back at the Marriott Camelback in Phoenix. Start of vacation.

Rode up Mt. Lemmon today for Doug's Birthday Ride.  Beautiful scenery and more than 20 degrees cooler at the top (8000 ft) than in the Valley of Tuscon where it was 106 degrees!!  Never in a million years would we believe that Arizona could be this green!

Jen reached deep down and found her inner domestic self (it's there -
really) and made homemade ribs, potato salad and a Red Velvet cake
all from scratch for Doug's birthday dinner.

Motorcycle ride to Patagonia AZ and found the Velvet Elvis!

Bisbee Brewing again.

Finally after 6 months here we made it to the local brewery.

Oops forgot to put my obligatory beer pic up for a new brewery. Wild
Wolf Brewery in VA.

Where was Maggie when I needed her.

A little further down the trail

On my walk today in VA

Enjoying our day at the spa pool and this habbob decides to roll in.
And I thought I was through with this shit when I retired.

Now this is how you have to do it when it is 112 deg outside. Double
cupped with ice in the bottom of the outside cup.

Our abode for the weekend.
