Short and Sweet ...!

Just a very short post this week as we are taking advantage of the school Fall Break and have driven up to the high country for a week of rest & relaxation and general battery recharging.  Nothing much planned other than eating, drinking, reading, walking (a necessary evil following the first two items on the list) and generally spending some quality family time together.  Bliss!

As we drove up through the White Mountains along the wide empty roads, we watched as saguaros became pines, desert became forest and temperatures dropped from a warm 82 degrees to a rather chilly 58.  Arizona you constantly impress me with your beauty and the huge variations in both landscape and temperature, all within a few hours drive.  Amazing!

After unpacking what seemed like half the house from the car (why is it when you drive anywhere on holiday you end up chucking all manner of random crap into the car ... just in case?) we all decided we were suddenly very hungry and could murder a beer or two ... or a coke in the case of the Tween.
After a recommendation from the resort manager we headed off in last rays of the afternoon sun to a local bar where their speciality was a 'wine burger'.  Well, that just has my name written all over it!

The burger was delicious, as was the mojito I ordered to go along with it (which arrived in a pint glass!)

 I think we may be frequenting that estsblishment again before the week is out.

I hope all those that celebrate have a wonderful Thanksgiving later this week.  I certainly have a lot to be thankful for and right now I am extremely thankful for being able to count all of you as my lovely friends and family!

TTFN
