Trip to Phx 0506

Saturday 5/5
Headed to Phoenix to check out the Phx Botanical garden. This garden was started in 1939 which covers 125 acres. One can take a tour or just walk on your own. During the month of May, there is a Butterfly exhibit. Spent over 3 hrs enjoying this wonderful garden including lunch.
  Purchased another ticket to the TOPIA performance.  An outdoor ballet, dancing to Beethoven's symphoney #6.  Since this performance dosen't  start until 7:30p I left the garden and did some geocaching  near by and then to Comfort Suites hotel for my check in.  Hotel located about 12mi from Garden off of I-17 (exit 208). Booked thru HotWire for $38.00. Room was a suite, really nice. Relax then off to see the ballet.
Sunday 5/6
Nice serve yourself breakfast.  Then out for a walk to do some  geocaching in an Park area setting. Got 6 finds. Back to the hotel.  Was great to relax and do some reading.   Left about noon.  Quick stop at Cliff casino (1 hr), then to Flagstaff for some food shopping.  Arrived at RV around 4pm.
Sunday evening
Poker night- Texas Holden Them.  Six player (all meteor crater emp). We played at  Steve's apt at the Visitor ctr.  Been learning how to play on the computer called Zynga poker application. Buy in was just $10.00.  Nice evening (6:30p - 10:30p).
