I have finally found a few minutes to write about our trip to Scottsdale, AZ. It was an amazing trip, despite the heat. By the way, it was around 112 degrees while we were there. In the high 90's is hot enough for me.
Besides being a business trip, we also went for a little get away. Along with good food and shopping, we were able to see some of Frank Lloyd Wright's work. We saw the exterior of his home "Taliesin West". Along with this Spire, that he originally design for the Arizona State Capitol. Wright designed it in 1957, but it wasn't built until 2004. The Spire was built in a small garden on the corner of a shopping mall. It was Beautiful.
After our stay in Scottsdale, we decided to drive home by way of Las Vegas. Little did we know that by doing so, we would be driving over the Hoover Dam. This was a breath taking experience (did I mention that I am incredibly afraid of heights). Both Tyler and I have never been and were excited to see it because there isn't much Art Deco Architecture left in the world. Making it an amazing experience to see it on a grand scale. Some day I would love to revisit the Dam and go on a few of the tours. We were unable to attend any because we need to make it back to Salt Lake that night.
This is the back of Hoover Dam and this is the new Sky-bridge (looking for on top of the Dam).
