San Tan Valley, Arizona

Today we made a trip to visit my aunt and uncle, James and Mary Ellen, at their winter home in San Tan Valley, Arizona.  It was only about 45 minutes from our hotel and was a beautiful drive through desert landscape.  James and Mary Ellen treated us to a delicious lunch at a restaurant in the small town of Superior and then drove us a short distance up into the mountains for a picturesque view.  We also enjoyed seeing their home and meeting their energetic dog, Tofu. :-)  Here are some pictures to share.  Thanks for the few short hours, James and Mary Ellen.  It was a special treat!

Stopped at Starbucks on the way - yum!

Porter's Cafe for lunch... pet friendly but Tofu stayed in the van

Guess he liked us since he was willing to pose with us! :-)
