In honor of Journey Tuesday, nevertheless, I believed I might share with you a enjoyable (I hope) write up about my journey to Arizona with my twin and two of our pals in April.
If you wish to get away and uncover Arizona, you don’t have to decide on only one metropolis. Discover a resort or an Airbnb in Phoenix, lease a automobile, and also you’ll be capable of go to Scottsdale and Sedona throughout the identical journey! Under are a couple of highlights for every metropolis from my journey earlier this yr.
Phoenix
Desert Botanical Backyard: each time I journey, I all the time go to a botanical backyard if one is situated close by. This backyard, nevertheless, stood out amongst all others due to hundreds of types of cacti showcased in 55 acres of desert panorama.
Little Miss BBQ: get a plate with 2 sides! I like to recommend sliced brisket, potato salad, and coleslaw. If you’re a vegetarian, you’ll have to stay to mac and cheese, cheddar jalapeno grits, potato salad, and smoked pecan pie.
Harumi Sushi: sushi is probably not the primary delicacies you consider when you’re in Arizona, however this was an amazing discover as a result of the restaurant will get contemporary seafood flown in a single day from locations like Scotland and Nova Scotia. Harumi Sushi was voted greatest sushi within the state of Arizona in 2021, and I might see why: nice number of sushi and sashimi at affordable costs, particularly when in comparison with DC, and pleasant service.
Scottsdale
Taliesin West: in case you are a fan of structure, and particularly Frank Lloyd Wright, this can be a must-see attraction. Take a guided tour, don’t overlook to deliver sunscreen and water, and study Wright’s life and his ideas on natural structure whereas strolling by means of the grounds and taking a peek into the constructing and studio areas.
Pinnacle Peak Park: get up early, put in your tennis footwear, seize sunscreen and water and drive out to the park for a reasonable hike with nice views of the town and numerous alternatives to take pictures with cacti within the background.
Sedona: for barely cooler temperatures and a change of surroundings, drive to Sedona for a day.
Crescent Moon Picnic Space: this can be a lovely space that includes Pink Rocks and excellent for a stroll particularly across the sundown. Don’t overlook to take a photograph of the Cathedral Rock and dip your toes into the close by stream.
Javelina Cantina: this spacious restaurant with an enormous outside is ideal in case you like margaritas and beneficiant parts of meals. I like to recommend fajitas with hen and beef.
