What do ranch people do on vacation? They go horseback riding of course! We went on a 2 hour ride at the Goldfield Livery Stables, just east of the Superstition Mountains by Apache Junction. My horse's name was Trooper.
An old church that is still in use in Goldfield.
A little scenic railroad that goes around the perimeter of Goldfield.
My husband, Scott. They had just let him out of jail.
Me. It was hot that day and I was looking for some shade.
The Superstition Mountains.
What else do ranch people do on vacation? They visit cows because they miss their cows at home! These are Holstein milk cows at Superstition Farms, east of Mesa. The farm also had a petting zoo with sheep, goats, a donkey, rabbits, and chickens. They also had a short tour on a wagon pulled by a tractor.
Scottsdale is a great place to shop. In addition to all of the gift shops, art galleries, and restaurants in Old Town, there is the Scottsdale Fashion Square. This indoor mall has the biggest collection of upscale designer stores that I've ever seen. We walked through Neiman Marcus and Chanel, Prada, and Gucci each had their own room with their purses and handbags on display. Gorgeous! Micheal Kors, Kate Spade, Barneys New York, Burberry, and Jimmy Choo to name a just few, all have stores there.
What a fun trip! That church looks so sweet and horseback riding sounds like fun! I need to figure out how to do that on my next vacation!
