Old Town Scottsdale

One more site to check out, this time, Old Town section of Scottsdale.  But first, Carol was happy to have finished the quilting on the wall hanging she had put together in the RV, so we got that mailed off.

We had a wonderful visit with my sister and brother-in-law, and really appreciate all of the time they were able to spend showing us around.  And what a lovely place to call home!  

And now it is time to hit the road once again.  Thanks for everything, Linda and David!

Antique Car Show and Sunset Dinner

So after a nice walk in the Sonoran Desert, it's time to get back to the community.  Let's go check out a few cars from an antique car show being held at my sister's church.

Next we had dinner at my sister's golf club where David was being recognized for winning his flight in their recent tournament.  Beautiful sitting out on the patio while the sun was setting.  I do love the golden hours.

Finally, after a great day, we caught the end of the sunset at their house, and the following night, had a colorful storm pass through as well.

Visiting my Big Sister

So we made it to Scottsdale, AZ where my sister and brother-in-law now reside.  My sister has been quick to point out they have lived here for 14 years, and this marks my first visit.  Hey, I've been busy! ;-)

Its a very nice community, so I am glad I could bring a high quality addition to the the neighborhood.  As Cousin Ernie famously said:  "That there's an RV!"  (Oh sure, you should check out the clip.)

There are wonderful walking trails all throughout this Active Living community.  Being from New England we were surprised just how much we liked the xeriscaping; to the point when we saw any sort of lawn, it just looked out of place.

And it was nice to stay in their lovely house, and go see many of the sights around their area.  So more to follow.
