Jesse and I celebrated our eighth anniversary over memorial day weekend. We took a road trip to Phoenix and picked Jesse up a car (VW Golf TDI)! Because it is a manual, Jesse had the honors of driving the whole way home! (I am in need of some serious driving lessons).
We had a nice dinner at this eclectic Japanese tapas place downtown, where we had bites of pork belly, duck, tofu, and squid.
We also got a tour of Taliesin West -- Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home, which is now a school of architecture and museum.
We had a good time and learned a lot -- neither of us had been to a Frank Lloyd Wright building before.
One of the first things we noticed as we approached Phoenix was the huge and plentiful cacti. We saw a huge variety of them and other plants at their botanical gardens.
There were flowers and hummingbirds too, and since we went in the morning it wasn't too hot.
They had a cute/corny photo op place, so here you go!
Love the car, and that sounds like a fabulous way to spend your anniversary! The FLW building looks cool and the cacti look adorable! You should have broke some cacti seeds back to plant at your place!

Lol. The car does look white in the picture, but it is actually silver. We're non-conformists! ;P
