AT LAST

I did it! Took my guys for a retro “staycation” at the Hotel Valley Ho. I’ve wanted to stay here since moving back to Arizona 3 years ago.

It did not disappoint.

Max was a little apprehensive in the beginning.

But after realizing the Ho is fond of furry friends, he was quickly at ease. (Yes, they provided the cute doggy bowl & food just for him.)

Dick belongs in the 1960s. Proof? His name. Apart from being one of the most feminist people I know (feminist, not feminine!), his era is the ’60s.

Spoiled. And looking good while at it.

I geek out over details. I would have totally designed this place if given the chance.

Dick’s favorite dessert: strawberry pie.
My vice: Fresca & Starburst.

Treats we enjoyed while re-watching the 1st season of the only show that seemed appropriate: Mad Men. 3rd season starts next month! I think it’s the best show out there.

Early mornings with no agenda are my favorite.

Planning a trip to Arizona? Stay at at the Valley Ho!

We’d reconsider the move if living in this place was an option. (Well, I guess it is an option. Just a very unaffordable one for us.)
