Yeah, we picked up Daniel at the airport Wednesday night. He had a very long day of traveling but arrived safe and sound.
Thursday was a day to relax by the pool and enjoy the sunshine. That night we drove to Organ Stop Pizza to show Daniel The Mighty Wurlitzer and share a pizza. It was fun up until the point when some undisciplined children from upstairs decided to throw a plastic cup down to our table. The cup splashed into spaghetti sauce causing an explosion of sauce which splattered us and the four people sitting next to us. What a mess. We called the manager but, of course, the culprits already bolted. The manger apologized, paid for all our meals and gave us a coupon for our next meal there. I couldn't wait to get home to wash my hair, which was splattered with sauce and we needed to soak our clothes overnight in Oxi-Clean.
Today we drove the Apache Trail to Tortilla Flats for lunch and drove all the way around to Roosevelt Dam, Tonto National Park and the Cliff Dwellings. It was a long day for all and Daniel's back was giving him pain on the walk down from the Cliff Dwellings.
Daniel and Denis are at the pool and hot tub for a good soak after a long, fun day. It's so nice to be able to enjoy this time with our son.
Thanks for stopping in.

Family time is always a great time! Looks like you enjoyed your time here in my neck of the woods. The Apache Trail is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that he finally got there to spend some time with you, enjoy the visit.
ReplyDeleteWe just said goodbye to our son as we pulled out of Phoenix Texas bound. We always recommend Tortilla Flats and the Organ Stop Pizza....a couple of our faves. Enjoy the visit with your son!
