Last week we took our annual excursion to Scottsdale. It was a great trip, as usual.

The neat thing is that they were having this thing called “Summer,” as opposed to what we’ve had in Chicago, which is an average of one day of summer wrapped up in three days of Fall.

We stayed at a place called The Xona Resort Suites, which was pretty nice: these are shots of the pool that was right outside our door.

After a few days of family, swimming, tanning, and yes, a trip to Old Town Scottsdale, we were on our way back home to cooler temperatures.
