A Winter Getaway, or "How to Avoid a Blizzard"

Nick and I couldn't have chosen a better time to leave Minnesota's snowiest winter. We left for Arizona February 18th. We were greeted with rain and apparently it never rains this hard in Arizona. But it was all okay because that rain, was causing a blizzard of epic proportions back home. So we enjoyed the rain and even had the chance to soak up some rays while everyone was digging out for two days straight!
We took the Apache Trail around the Superstition Mountains for a day. It was the scariest drive ever but totally worth it! We saw some of the most beautiful scenery Nick or I have ever seen. We visited with his uncle, and ate a ton of great food with Nick's parents.

On our last day there we climbed Black Mountain and made it all the way to the top. It was a beautiful and sunny 65 degrees. It was a great view from the top!
But then we had to come home... and shovel what we had fallen while we were gone. I think we still couldn't have planned our trip any better!
