πΊπΈ Phoenix, Arizona π΅ | 2-Day Desert Adventure Around the City!
Finally sharing my Phoenix travel diary! Every time the rainy season comes, I miss winter in Phoenix β the perfect weather (no puffer jacket needed!), just a light coat for cooler evenings. Itβs a great destination for families with kids too! This time, I spent three days and two nights here: one day in Tucson and two days exploring Phoenixβs highlights. π Desert Botanical Garden π΅ This massive desert garden is packed with countless types of cacti β tall, short, chubby, quirky! π΅β¨ Also features flowers, plants, and special exhibitions. A super cute and uniquely desert-themed experience! We spent half a day with our kiddo and still didnβt cover everything. π Hole in the Rock After the garden, we headed to Papago Parkβs famous rock formation to catch the sunset π . Just a short drive away! Parked and took a easy trail up to the hole in the rock. Sat inside the opening overlooking Phoenix β stunning views! π Phoenix Old Town Scottsdale Next day, we started with brunch in Old Town (food was okay, but the garden ambiance was lovely β avocado toast recommended! π₯). Then we explored the charming streets filled with boutiques, art galleries, and live street performances. The area blends European and Mediterranean vibes β so photogenic and relaxing! πΈ Must-visit spots: Phoenix Sign mural Bronze Horse Fountain The Mission (white church) βͺοΈ π ASU Art Museum My first pink museum! π The architecture is incredibly artistic β the entire building is pink and looks amazing against the blue Arizona sky. A must-visit for modern art lovers! π¦ On the way, we grabbed a super affordable lobster roll β packed with fresh lobster meat. So satisfying! #Arizona #PhoenixAZ #WestUSATravel #USRoadTrip #PhoenixLife #FamilyTravel #TravelDiary
