Golfing in Scottsdale
Ouch - can you believe they put not only a huge boulder but a prickly pear cactus in the sand trap? Evil, evil golf course designers - they probably pull wings off butterflies, too. This is Boulders Resort in Carefree, AZ just north of Scottsdale. A great course!

Hot Air Ballooning in Phoenix

This hot air balloon is the largest they fly in North America - the fabric would cover a football field, and it's eleven stories high!! We hit a top altitude of 7500 feet at a speed of about 10 miles per hour. Beautiful, calm and serene. Even when we looked over the edge...

Sundial in Carefree, AZ
This is one of the world's largest sundials - and it's actually SUNNY here, so we could test it out. Little known fact - did you know that all sundials point directly to the north star??

Lifting a rock in Scottsdale, AZ
This rock is at the TPC Scottsdale golf course. In 1999, Tiger Woods hit a ball next to it and eight beefy fans from the gallery were allowed to move it so he could hit the ball. Apparently, the officials ruled that it was a "loose impediment"! We couldn't budge it...

Floating in a Gondola Scottsdale, AZ
Mike had some business in Scottsdale, so we also played a little golf AND took in the wonderful baritone tunes of Marcos, the gondolier. O solo mio!!
