No Place Like Home

I had an amazing time visiting my family in Arizona for Christmas. I had to get a lot in with my short time home, but I think I did just about everything on the to-do list.

My dad and I enjoyed burgers at In-N-Out the moment I got off the plane. A Double Double, Animal Style (mmmm). Burgers don't get any better than that! They're so good, my buddy Brandon and I hit it up again when we hung out in Phoenix.

While I was in Phoenix, I went to Tempe to hang out with some of the coolest people in the world, Brandon, Sheri, Sean, Sharon, and Kathy. We grabbed some food at Bison Witches (one of our favorites), and talked over coffee at Starbucks on Mill Ave. It was great seeing everyone, especially now that we are all living across the country.

I also got to play with my nieces and hang out with my brothers. My brother, Ross, my dad, and I also went for a hike in the Kofa Game Range in the Sonoran Desert. I played around with my new camera, we wandered through a mine shaft, and had some lunch cooked over a fire. The desert is amazing, so I can't go home without a drive around.

It was a great trip full of some much needed rest. Check out some of the pics I took, you can click on them to see a bigger version.
