Yesterday I went on a little adventure with my mom and two sisters to two luxury hotels in Scottsdale.

This post showcases photos and locations I haven’t had a chance to touch on. So, here we go!

While a quarter million (250,000) currently live in Scottsdale, the original downtown/Old Town feels very much like a small town. There are many small shops of all types, fun restaurants, artwork and galleries galore, beautiful public areas, and an unbelievable amount of Western Americana.

KC is a great holiday destination with more holiday events to offer than you could possibly do in a month. Here are a few holiday attractions I enjoyed and highly recommend.

As many of you know, I like to spend time at the Iowa Great Lakes (Okoboji). It is one of my growing list of happy places. 😁 I love to sit and enjoy the water lap against the shore and take photos of the lakes and the natural beauty of the area.
