Warm Arizona

Say what you want about Arizona's summers, but when we went down there last week, it was perfect. Low eighties, nice and sunny (we can't wait til it gets like that up here) and clean air. We went down to catch a spring training game before the regular season hit off, but I guess the real reason was to get away for a while and find someplace warm. We've been done with winter for a while now.

The temple grounds were beautiful. We walked around for quite a while admiring and smelling the flowers and trees. Sounds pretty lame, but it was nice. Look closely, and you can see Junior sticking out Steph's belly. Can't wait to see him.

Couldn't resist getting a pic with the clydesdales and pup. The game was warm as expected. Nothing like watching the game with a hotdog and sunflower seeds.

Steph's uncle took us to a local BBQ joint, and they had the best ribs I've had since childhood back in Georgia. The atmosphere actually made you think you were out in the country somewhere, not near downtown. So good. I'd go back for that.

We made a couple stops on the way home to prolong our stay in the warm weather. (It snowed the next day in Utah.) We even threw in a stop with a cop who claimed we were speeding through his small town of 350 people. We got only a warning.

Dam. Big.
