Chris's Visit

Chris came to visit this weekend. He came in Friday morning and hung out while I worked. What patience he has! What I thought was going to be a half day of working quickly turned into a full day. Friday night we went to a sunset tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West. It was a fantastic tour and Joel, our tour guide, was outstanding. I had been to Taliesin West years ago when I was in college. I had forgotten much of the tour and enjoyed all the inforamtion. Especially about how the buildings were constructed from scrap/found material for very little money. For Frank Llyod Wright it was all about design regardless of material. Taliesin is a fantastic place and even more magical at night. Pictures are here.

On Saturday we did a little shopping and goofing around town. Saturday night we went to a gallery opening in Scottsdale that a work associate of Chris' invited us to. It was a small gallery and the paintings were nice, but the hightlight of the time was the conversation. Later we met up with Jennifer and John for drinks at a couple bars in Tempe.

The rest of the weekend, we shopped, hung out, cooked, enjoyed the weather, went hiking, went to a neighborhood cookout, and saw the Da Vinci Code. It was a fantastic weekend and certainly didn't last long enough.
