SCOTTSDALE, AZ

We spent 5 nights in Scottsdale and were lucky to be able to stay with our friend Brian and his mom in a beautiful home in Scottsdale Ranch right on its own little lake! We drove through the sunset from La Quinta and it was a beautiful drive! We had fun relaxing and spending time with Brian and his mom and Michael got his final lake fix which he was really happy about before winterizing the jet ski!



The gorgeous lake neighborhood of Scottsdale Ranch- most people have electric powered boats that zip around the lake ... they are so quiet you can barely hear them, they kind of just sneak up on you! The sunsets were gorgeous too!












Saguaro Lake- right off HWY 87...the 4th reservoir on the Salt River formed by the Stewart Mountain Dam







Lake Pleasant - we took out the raft here! It's a large recreational park as well as an important storage reservoir unit for the quickly growing metropolitan area of Phoenix!



Fun afternoon at the Desert Botanic Gardens with my friend Yoon!


Look closely in the middle and you can see an owl perched up in the tree!











Yummy wine & apps at the Botanic Gardens... Yoon's husband Scott joined us!



Final Scottsdale Ranch sunset walk before leaving the next morning!
