TRAVEL DIARY: SCENIC DRIVE FROM UTAH TO FUN TIMES IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ


Happy Thursday, Everyone!


On the next part of my road trip we headed from time in the beautiful state of Utah through Nevada and onto Scottsdale, Arizona.


The roads through these parts of the US truly are natural wonders of beauty.  Once we made it to Scottsdale, we visited one of my mother's lovely friend from college and her husband.  


They were the perfect hosts and showed us all around the area.  Arizona is just full of very unique cactus at every turn that are hundreds of years old, beautiful blue skies, a number of lovely golf courses and pretty sunsets.


We enjoyed some great conversation, shared wonderful wine, cozy cocktails and marvelous meals, including a fantastic dinner at Constantino's, a part of Desert Mountain's Golf Club resort.

One of my favorite memories from our time with them was a fun, late night sing along by the piano, where I got to revisit my love for singing and broadway show tunes, and enjoy a little coffee with a kick KahlĂșa. The perfect way to end a fun-filled visit and day with some wonderful people! 


OK, picture time!  Enjoy!
