Arizona Spring Time

A long time bucket list item for Tom has been to go to Spring Training in Arizona. This year he checked that off. After an early morning drive through the flowering desert we arrived at 
Goodyear Stadium in time to see the Indians vs Mariners.

                                              An early morning moon over the desert.

                                                                Goodyear Stadium
     These second row seats were great but in the sweltering 100 degrees we only lasted 5 innings.


Our camp ground that night was right in the middle of a lush green desert on the outskirts of Phoenix. The winter rains sure changed the face of the dry hot desert. Beautiful!

On to Dodger country at Camelback Ranch. The box office was sold-out but we managed to buy tickets from a scalper. It was really fun sitting with the lawn crowd where we cooled down with water/ spray and power fans. aaaah!





                           



                                         Night game at Padres stadium in Peoria...Dodgers win!!!!
Now we're off to spend a few days relaxing at the Colorado River.

Adios to to the lovely desert and a fun time in Arizona.
