Phoenix part of our Summer 2022 trip

We started and ended our trip in Phoenix as we flew in to PDX. We landed by 8:30 am, Arizona is in mountain time zone, but does not observe DST (except for Navajo reservations), needless to say it was early for us, we left Ames in the dark and needed to feed the hollow teenage boy. Our connection in Denver did not allow for a food stop and United did not give him the little package of cookies he was expecting!
Big breakfast for all. I think Dallas ordered Lemon Poppy Seed pancakes that came topped with ice cream, plus sausage, plus and ice coffee he made Emily order but then drank most of it. 
After breakfast we found a theater to see the new Minons movie. It was Robert's goal to see this and the new Thor movie while on vacation. We succeeded! 


I am skipping to our last day of vaca, which landed us back in Phoenix. It was 115F when we drove into Robert's high school friends driveway. I had meet him 1-2x, but never met his wife or kids. They entertained us with this VR rig, made us dinner and we questioned how anyone can go outside in the summer.

We spent one night at a really nice DoubleTree resort hotel in Phoenix before flying home in the morning. We swam at 9pm and it was still 105F!
