Relative Day

Arizona is beautiful.  We got our first glimpse of Cacti and more sand and rock than we could have imagined.  Not the earliest start to the day for us, we were trying to avoid Tucson rush hour.  The Interstate through Tucson is nicely landscaped.  Very well done by the city.

We were going to Phoenix for a couple days to visit my Aunt and Cousins.  I have never been here before, so I was excited to spend some time with them!  They have always traveled to OH, and while my parents and sisters have been in Phoenix, I have not...until today!

The drive was pretty uneventful.  It was a little more of a climb than we anticipated, the city sits higher than I expected.  we made good time and even found a couple RV places near my Aunt and cousins to park the trailer.  There are many RV parks int the area, but more than half are 55+ only (imagine that!).  The first place we looked at seemed full, so on to the second one.  That one seemed ok from the start, but...when we pulled in, we scraped the bottom of the camper!  Ugh.  Not amused at all.  The back 2 stabilizers were bent, one soo bad it was unusable.  Not much we could do, the entrance had a zillion cuts in the road and the entrance from others like us.  Didn't make me feel any better.  Despite that, we stayed here, and will hope for the best on the way out.

After setting up the site, we went to visit my aunt and cousins.  The house was only about 10 minutes away.  The is a beautiful area, we were very impressed by the city.  We spent the afternoon and evening catching up and just visiting.  Our gracious hosts provided dinner and company.  Very relaxing for us, hopefully we were not too intrusive. 

We got back to the site late (for us) and went right to bed.  Looking to tomorrow and a tour of the Ping (golf company) facility.   Thanks for the visit, Merrellene, Tammy, Bob, Jesse, Becky, Shelby, Brian, Anthony, and Vanessa!
