Arizona Vacation - Day Three

Not far from where we stayed was an old west town called Goldfield Ghost Town. We decided to pack a picnic lunch and spend the day there. 

This Cactus was HUGE!

I love these clay ornaments hanging up on the porch of one of the shop.  I loved the rustic colors in this picture. 

This neat sign was posted on the church. 

This is one of my favorite shots of the day. I love how the cactus adds so much to this picture.

Had to take a picture of this Victorian style house. I love the winding staircase.

My sister dragged me into the reptile exhibit with her.  We saw over ten different species of Rattlesnakes, a Cobra, and many other creepy crawlies that gave me the shivers.  

The Gold field Jail.    

I thought these glass cactuses in in the gift shop were pretty.

Arizona Vacation - Day Two

Our second day in Arizona we headed off to spend the day in town. I'm getting pretty good at taking pictures while the car is driving. I snapped the picture above while in the car.

We visited a huge flea market.  It was called the Mesa Market. We each found some treasures, but we mostly just enjoyed browsing all the merchandise. This table of rocks caught my attention.

My sister found brownies!  She didn't buy them but she wanted to.

Later in the evening my Grandpa introduced us to his favorite sport - Pickle Ball.

My brother is being silly, as always.

Apparently in the picture above my sister is booing someone.

My sister is so photogenic.  I'm always taking pictures of her.

The sunset was so pretty at our campground. 

Arizona Vacation - Day One

Vacations don't always have to be in the summer.  During spring break we left on a week long vacation to visit our relatives in Arizona.

I never know what to bring when it comes to packing so I always pack extra just in case :)

Driving through Southern California is not the prettiest drive.  I thought this sign was funny since it hardly ever rains in the desert

We drove through Joshua Tree National Park on our way to Arizona.  These Joshua Trees are definitely unique. 

My sister learned the hard way that it's best not to touch the Joshua Trees.  

I found this blooming Prickly Pear Cactus and couldn't resist taking a picture of this unique plant.

Joshua Tree National Park was unique and interesting in its own way, but it is not on my list of favorite National Parks.  

I will be posting more pictures from my family's vacation to Arizona over the next week.
