Wrap up and back to the deep freeze

I am wrapping up the blog for this trip.  The temperatures warmed up and were actually HOT the last couple of days.  On Monday, we enjoyed a delicious crepe lunch on the patio (they do yummy gluten free ones too) in Cave Creek.  This is a regular haunt for us and we knew it was moving locations a couple of doors up in the outdoor mall.  It is moved now and they did a great job.  The only drawback is the patio is on the front of the building now and you look at the courtyard instead of the mountains at the back.  Here we are waiting for our lunch.  Sorry about the table view, I was using my mini tri-pod.  We had to move into the shade, it was so warm.  We had savory crepes and then we shared a traditional lemon crepe for desert.  Yummy!! 

 

There is a large courtyard as you can see and an amazing bronze statue of a horse and cowboy.  There is a lot of public art in the Phoenix area and this is just one example.   This shows you the size of it and the courtyard.

 

You can see the detail in the horse and the man's face and clothing.

 Yay! Mom was hoping for a handsome date and look here, she found herself a cowboy!!

We were enjoying the bright sun and temperate weather so much, it was very hard to leave, especially to go to the exteme cold temperatures at home.  Craig picked up a wicked cold a couple of days before we left that slowed him down a bit.  He even took the car a couple of times and did not take the bike!! That is when you know he is under the weather.  Unfortunately Mom also picked up the cold when we got home too.  I thought I escaped it but it had hit me too.  Spent the day on the couch on Sunday and was off work a couple of days too it hit me so hard.  It must be going around fast as there are a lot of people coughing right now. 

Well, that is the wrap up for this trip.  I didn't include all the things we got up to but you get the idea that we were busy but also relaxed and did some sight seeing.  It was nice not to be in the cold and snow for a bit.  Our next visit will be in May and we may squeek another visit in before then. 

Hope you enjoyed the blog!  until next time....
