Cool Pines During The Hot Summer Heat

I don’t know about you, but for me the thought of relaxing in the cool pines during the desert’s hot summer has a calming affect on my body.  The wind whispering through the pines and picking up the fresh scent of the trees has always done that.

It is also wonderful to know that Prescott Arizona is an easy drive away.  Prescott offers not just relaxing, cool weather, but an abundance of  history for those of us interested.  Established in the mid 1800’s as a mining and ranch town, the city of Prescott holds it’s charm with exquisite architecture.

Prescott offers a place for the desert golfers to enjoy the cool mountains without traveling too far.  Those gas prices are getting us to stay closer to home and enjoy what is nearby.

Today you will find Prescott hotels for any budget.  So, stay for the night or stay for a month.  Prescott is worth the adventure.

Don’t Forget to “Scratch” Scottsdale

While visiting Scottsdale Arizona for lunch the other day, a small but intreging bakery-cafe caught my eye!  Not stopping would have been a grand mistake!  Scratch Pasteries is a Parisian bakery-cafe located on Indian School and Miller Roads in south Scottsdale.  This cafe holds true to its name “scratch”.  Each pastery, quiche, sandwich and dessert is made from scratch.  It is a refreshing way to spend a lunch, with fresh, unique food!  The owners are always trying and creating new things so the menu is ever changing.

Whether in the area for lunch or visiting from out of town, Scratch Pasteries is well worth your time!  Find the closest Scottsdale Arizona Hotels before visiting!

Golf Season In Central Oregon

Many golf enthusiasts find themselves longing for new and interesting places to tee it up this time of year.  Well, Bend Oregon is gearing up for the season of non-stop golf!  Here is one of the most incredible places we have found, Pronghorn.  This community includes two incredible championship golf courses designed by Tom Fazio and Jack Nicklaus.  The high desert hasn’t looked and played like this before!

These stunning private courses challenge the best of players.  Full of exquisite scenery and mystery at every hole, the Pronghorn courses are unique in every way.  Many residents find themselves relaxing and enjoying what Pronghorn has to offer.  If golf, spa and wellness center, fine dining and luxurious accomodations fit your style, then Pronghorn is the place.

 

Sedona Arizona and Good Eatin’

This past weekend I took a trip to Sedona Arizona.  I found myself in a wonderful restaurant that reminded me of the Old West with class.  The Cowboy Club has walls full of scenic western murals, cowboy hats and a beautiful rock fireplace nestled in the back.  I felt right at home!  As I was seated by the courteous staff, I noticed the cleanliness of my surroundings.  “Excellent”,  I thought to myself!   The menu was outstanding!  Appetizers consisted of real rattlesnake and cactus fries.  Don’t worry, for those of you who don’t enjoy living on the edge there are other choices.  The choices are endless with ribs, buffalo, Angus and even seafood.  To top off the meal I enjoyed the pan fried chocolate chip cookie!  Absolutely wonderful!  This uptown restaurant has my vote and will be visited again when staying in Sedona!
