My parents were out for a visit on the weekend of Martin Luther King's birthday. They got here the Thursday night before and left the following Tuesday morning. We had a great time. The weather was beautiful, with each sunny day reaching the high 70s or low 80s, unseasonably warm even for us. Here are a few highlights. Regrettably, I didn't get any good shots of my parents during their visit. Next time I will make a better effort at that!
On Friday we rode Phoenix's new light rail! It was a lot of fun. We Arizonans are happy to finally have a mass transit system we can be proud of.
Another day we went to Tucson...
The San Xavier Del Bac Mission is absolutely beautiful. It is nicknamed the "White Dove of the Desert". They are restoring it, so I think that is why the top of the tower on the right is down right now.
Inside the church...

Anyone else want 80 degree days? Come on down and see us! (Well, wait a few more weeks, it's cold again...not Michigan or Maryland cold, but cold for us.)

It looks so warm! I can't believe they are wearing shorts in January!
Those are AWESOME pictures! I love the buildings, beautiful. I can't believe y'all are wearing shorts right now, I'm still hoping it snows here.
We had a WONDERFUL time in Arizona. You are a fantastic photographer. We missed the 7 degree weather here in Maryland but got back in time for snow and ice. I like it both ways, cold and snowy with a short break to the warmth.
I had to take a second look at your pictures..at first I thought those were shots of Shayne and Maya from the summer! Those are really cool buildings...thanks for the tour!
I loved visiting that mission so many, many years ago. It's obvious there has been work done on it. I guess when we visit Stephanie in Phoenix will be able to see you guys. Great photography, Karen.
Thanks! Rick took the first three and I took the Tucson ones.
