Fossil Creek



Hard to believe this is Arizona, right? That's what we said Saturday when we visited the Fossil Creek in Strawberry, AZ. It is amazing. The water is so clear I thought we were back in Hawaii. Enjoyed swimming and basking in the sun.

Just one more, but seriously how beautiful is this place?!


Happy Father's Day to my father and Jason's father -- miss you both.

Off to enjoy the waning moments of a great weekend. XOXO

Wine Anyone?



Flagstaff Wine and Food Festival was this weekend. Local Arizona wines and Flagstaff restaurants set up booths serving tastings. We went with a couple who live in our neighborhood and work with Jason at Gore; they were so much fun!


We enjoyed many yummy tastings. Please don't laugh at my horrible hair.


And Carne Asada tacos.


I got out my green thumb last week and potted a few flowers too. This pot was a gift for our anniversary from Tucson; thanks mum and dad! No veggies this summer; I was tired of dumping gallons of water only to produce 20 grape tomatoes:)

Hello out there!



This blog must be feeling so neglected! It isn't for lack of trying, but we have been so busy lately (Jason out of town about every other day, and Summer Orientation drains any energy I have) that the blog has fallen far down the list. I do want to give you all some updates though - better late than never?!

We got out of town to Phoenix a couple of weeks ago. Stayed overnight and had yummy Sangria and tapas in Scottsdale. The day time weather was hot, but beautiful at night. Saturday we visited the Arizona Science Center to see Body Worlds, a traveling exhibit about the human body. I read about this exhibit awhile back, and we are really glad we went -- definitely check it out if it is near you -- only for the truly nerdy at heart:)

Last weekend Jason was out of town and I went to Hullabalo, a music / hippy festival downtown. It was classic Flagstaff: lots of hippies, good beer, blue grass music, hula-hoops and tutus...yes, tutus on adults. I didn't participate in the hula-hooping or costume affair, but did enjoy some beer and live music. The weather was beautiful, so any excuse to get outdoors was welcomed.


A bunch of my photos didn't convert when I downloaded, but I have 1 photo of the silliness -- the beer vendor wearing pink fishnet tights:


A couple cool hiking photos from Memorial Day.





I have to work Orientation this afternoon (it's Saturday), so I'm off!
