Martin, Ruth, Bob & I visit the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden!
We love the DBG!
Happy there were still some springtime cacti blooms for Martin & Ruth to see.
Pretty in Pink.
Mellow Yellow.
It was an enjoyable afternoon strolling through cacti land.
I'm usually the picture taker but Martin is a pro. Can't wait to see the photos he took with his zoom lens!
Even in the Botanical Garden there was a place for yoga. LOL!
Old Man of the Andes Cactus. Yes, that's it's official name. Hairy guy!
After the Botanical Garden we strolled the shops of Old Town Scottsdale.
Scottsdale Mission.
The Sugar Bowl. This place has become a favorite place for ice cream. Est. in 1958 it has all the retro decorating I love; pink chrome stools, checkered floor, and awesome light fixtures. The best ice cream too; orange sherbet with old fashioned vanilla is my fave (like a dream sickle) :-)
We enjoyed our ice cream & time with Martin & Ruth. They stayed at the Mini Mansion until May 11th & then hit the road with their rental car. They're off touring around the Southwest now. Bob & I look forward to hearing their stories when they return to our home on May 21st.
The gardens are beautiful...I'm sure Ruth and Martin had many stories to share when they returned...did Martin remember to drive on the right???
