Back from Vacation

Apr 14, 2009 22:25


I am just back from vacation.  My sister lives at a little resort at the Colorado River on the California side, across from Arizona.

Because my asthma is so bad when hubby was visiting her in January, he noticed the little place next door to her was for sale and that seemed a good place for me to go in winter when my breathing is the worst.

We bought a little bitty place next door to her, but it is right on the lagoon which funnels into the Colorado River.  It has its own boat dock, and the purchase price included the SeaDoo personal water craft.  The two seat version.

So, I spent the week flying to Phoenix, Arizona and driving there and cleaning it up and getting it ready for us to use.  Another benefit is next year during Major League Baseball's Spring Training we are just about a 3 hour drive from all of the Arizona spring training facilities.  Since we both love baseball that is awesome.

Here are a few pictures:

A sunset pic that I took driving there from Phoenix.




A view of the Colorado River.  There is a great thinking bench there.




A view of my deck at sunset just before a monsoon rolled in.  Also taken from my sister's deck.




Some cactus flowers that bloom once a year and last a couple of days then they wilt.  I caught these in prime bloom.




This is an Ocotillo cactus with the full moon to the lower right.




This is my vacation office.  Too bad it doesn't have wireless or high speed internet.
