HOT, HOT, HOT

Scottsdale & Phoenix taught us a very important life lesson...NEVER visit Arizona in June (especially while living in an RV!)  The 110+ degree temperatures felt really, really steamy.  The evenings weren't much cooler & the supposed dry heat was also not helpful.  On the upside, we did get to try out our air conditioning unit, dipped in some pools, gambled at a few casinos to beat the heat & even had dinner with a dear friend.

The Release Pool Party at the Talking Stick Resort & Casino - Voted Best Valley Pool Party 2013
We thought we should check out this pool party, since we were already visiting the casino, but
as soon as we entered the gates, we realized we were far too old & far too sober to stay
