Phoenix Vacation--Day 4

Monday, March 12

We woke up and went out for breakfast with Grandma and Hal at McDonalds this morning. Deidra got to play in the play area for awhile and burn off some energy. Then, we headed home to take potty breaks and get some water before heading off to Tortilla Flat in the Superstition Mountains. The trip was beautiful and we stopped at a Ghost Town and looked around and saw a reptile exhibit of all the snakes, scorpions, lizards, and spiders that are native to Arizona. We took pictures of some of the buildings in the town…jail and the church. Then, we went back to heading up the mountain. We were going to have lunch in Tortilla Flat but it was just too busy. So, we headed back down the mountain and ate lunch at the marina café. We took pictures along the way and we walked along the water and got some pictures of the ducks. After lunch, we headed back down the mountain and stopped to take pics of Weaver’s Needle. There was a 500 ft trail to go back and take a photo opportunity, so we did that. It was neat to see all the plant life along the trails and it was oh so very pretty to see all the canyons too. We even saw a little brown lizard! We headed back home after that to some much needed down time for Deidra and probably good for us too before we have dinner with Grandma and Hal.

Pictures are of the little town (population 6) of Tortilla Flat (the town is even up for sale), Canyon Lake in Tortilla Flat, and of Weaver's Needle in the Superstition Mountains.
