Bosty has been spending a lot of time in Arizona these days. He figures D.C. weather gets too cold this time of year, so it’s nice to take a trip to a warmer climate.

We wound up in Phoenix, Arizona – and since Phoenix is so close to Scottsdale, we made sure to stop by Old Town Scottsdale.

When we walked by the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Bosty insisted we go inside. “You are an artist…you should look at some art!”

He was really excited about James Turrell’s Knight Rise public art exhibit. “Look at those colors!”

The exhibit had a beautiful walkway. Bosty just had to get his picture taken all around the art display….

Including a room that had an oval cut out in the ceiling so you could gaze at that inredibly blue Arizona sky.

After spending plenty of time staring at art, we were off on another walk around town. I wonder where we’ll end up next?

Bosty decided to start the day off in Flagstaff, Arizona by getting a cup of mocha from Macy’s European Coffeehouse.

He liked people watching out the window while sipping his coffee.

Next we did some wandering around the area, and did a little window shopping.

Bosty was anxious to see more of Mother Nature, so we hiked a few trails to take a look at the aspens.

The aspens sure looked beautiful all dressed up in yellow.

Before long, it was getting late and the sun began to set. Bosty liked staring at the Arizona sunset – so colorful!

It was another day full of activity. Bosty isn’t ready to leave the area just yet – he has some ideas of other cities to visit out west.

Bosty decided to head over to visit the Grand Canyon. “My oh my,” Bosty said, “that sure looks grand!”

He strolled around to take a look at the canyon from different angles. He also liked the interesting trees and shrubs that were growing alongside the pathways.

There were some red rocks in the area that reminded him of his Sedona, Arizona trip.

And wow, look at that tree! An interesting silhouette against the Arizona sky.

Bosty was having so much fun that before he knew it, it started to get late. The sun began to set and he enjoyed taking in the views at dusk.

He was also impressed by the wild clouds in the sky. Before long, it was nighttime. Bosty decided that the Grand Canyon was so much fun that he’d have to stay in Arizona a little longer to explore some other sights.

Bosty decided to hop on a plane and head over to Arizona to warm up – Washington, DC has been getting pretty chilly these days. His first stop was Sedona, Arizona. He’s heard a lot about the beautiful red rocks there.

He decided to go on a Pink Jeep Tour. Whenever Bosty plays the role of a tourist, he wants to do it right.

And touring the area was definitely a highlight. Bosty couldn’t get enough of the beautiful red rock views. “Look at this one!”

“Ohhh, look at this one too!”

The sky was so blue that day – blue and beautiful. The day went by pretty quickly, and before we knew it, it was time to hit the road again. Bosty has quite a few ideas of other places he’d like to see in area.
