Arizona Trip: Phoenix

We decided to take one last vacation as a family of four and booked a trip to Arizona over the girls' winter break. We were able to fly directly from Cincinnati to Phoenix, which was great. We stayed in a beautiful Marriott resort our first two nights there. Unfortunately, our first day there was cold and rainy (not the Arizona weather we had been expecting) but that didn't stop Yusaku and the girls from getting in the pool!

exhaustion? excitement? both?

Our second day there, we went to the Phoenix zoo. Not only was it fun to see the animals, but it was surrounded by beautiful scenery. We also took a train ride and saw Happy Feet in 4-D!






After the zoo, we checked out the nearby "Hole-in-the-Rock." Being very pregnant and having already walked around the zoo for five hours, I decided to stay back in the car while Yusaku and the girls climbed up.  In the second picture, you can see them in the "hole" if you look closely.



On our third day, we left Phoenix to head toward Sedona. Along the way, we stopped at two National Parks - Tuzigoot and Montezuma (see next post).
