Mesa in October

On Tuesday, 15 October, we headed to Mesa, AZ for a fall visit. It coincidentally happened to be the one year anniversary of our trip to England. The trip down was scenic and we had a fun lunch up near the north corner of the Grand Canyon along the Vermillion Cliffs. We spent a few days with Grandmother visiting, shopping, watching (TV and movies) and, of course, cooking and eating. We also had a very late and good visit with Chip and Sandy.

Utah looks mellow in the fall

Pete's is a Mesa institution

Nothing like English fish and chips, but good if you
think of them as something entirely different

Mesa Temple

Movies with the Aunties and some cousins

Really liked this film

After lunch we headed to Peoria. There will be more to post from there, but this is all for now.

I don't know if I want to eat or retire more, both are quite appealing right now.
