We had a quick spring break trip that was rather rushed, but lots of fun nonetheless...
We enjoyed our time around Phoenix, Arizona.
The saguaros were so fascinating ~ I kept taking photos as each one is so unique.
Springtime in the desert is lovely ~ as all is in bloom...
The colors were lovely.

It was definitely worth the ride.

Of course the real reason we were there was for:

Of course the real reason we were there was for:
Three games in three days at three different ballparks. Cheering for the Cubs, of course, and even enjoying a Cubs vs. White Sox game. The Cubs won two games and tied one.
It was a great opportunity to get up close and personal.
Closer that we can usually get at Wrigley Field.
