Doug and I absolutely loved having my parents come visit. Since we just moved into our 2 bedroom condo, they brought a bed and dresser and stayed a week. Since they have been to Phoenix several times, we tried to think of new places to go eat and new things to do.... so we took them to some of our new favorite places.
Downtown Phoenix Farmer's Market
fresh produce.
lunch from the food trucks.
homemade jalepeno cheese bread.
Queen Creek Olive Mill
we enjoyed tasting several kinds of olives and olive oil.

we can't wait to come back in May to pick some peaches!!

We also went to Tuzigoot and Montezuma Castle. (Not sure I could want to live back in those days, but interesting to visit).
Montezuma Well.
