March 23-27, 2013:
Our delightful trip to Seattle, Washington
to visit with our daughter
and view her newly purchased home,
then off to Scottsdale, Arizona
where my husband attended a conference
and we enjoyed the 'hot' sun and sightseeing...
 |
| Arriving Seattle via Alaska Airlines... |
 |
Daughter Renai, her friend Joy, hubby Max and I immensely enjoyed dining
at this wonderful restaurant where I indulged in this spectacular
Chili Vermont White Cheddar Buffalo Burger with Frites
and, of course, to-die-for Ale on Tap... |
 |
We left the next morning from Seattle
and arrived in Phoenix, then drove to Scottsdale
arriving at the Chaparral Suites Resort;
whereby I just fell in love with this sleek, black convertible
parked out front... |
 |
I highly recommend this stupendous resort with its many
terrific amenities and accommodating staff to those
that are lucky enough to spend time in Scottsdale... |
 |
We decided to have some Ale of Tap
and take in viewing basketball and hockey
in this fabulous onsite sports bar... |
 |
It was a whoppin' 89 degrees,
just loved it... |
 |
I dined in via room service for lunch
enjoying this incredible
Black Bean Brisket Chili Taco Salad while basking in the sun... |
 |
Numerous non-shy birds were
in abundance throughout our stay... |
 |
A desert rattlesnake hunting guide
collecting tourists to take out on an excursion,
just as we checked out of the hotel... |
 |
We stopped to have lunch at the SeaTac Airport
infamous "Anthony's:
post check-in... |
 |
We couldn't stop at one order of these
most-excellent fresh oysters in the half shell,
so ended up ordering another... |
 |
This Asian Tropical Salad
was pure perfection as well... |
 |
We were awe struck at this incredible Alaskan
photo hanging nearby our dining table at "Anthony's"... |
 |
Ta ta Arizona,
what a great and memorable trip we had... |
