Taking the Hubby to Phoenix/Scottsdale for the first time

Stay one night at El Tovar, it is pricy, but it is so beautiful early in the morning and late in the afternoon, after the crowds leave. We had a very nice dinner there. There are many wonderful places to go and see that you might not get back any time soon. This would be a great place for a splurge.

Out of Africa wild animal park

while in Scottsdale, or stop in between Sedona and Scottsdale, check out the Out of Africa wild animal park. It is near Camp Verde. The children should really enjoy the park and be sure to upgrade to the Unimog African Safari tour. There are discounts available on their web site. My wife and I went there this summer and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
