Swim Time

One of the reasons we came to the Doubletree Resort in
the first place was because of the pool. It's not the biggest
or best in the area, but we like it anyway. There are actually
two pools here but we tend to use the rear pool the most
and since it's mid-summer, we practically have it all to
ourselves. When I lived in Chandler, the condo complex
had to spray the pool down continuously in the summer
to keep it cool. Not so here. I'm not sure if it's because
it's larger or they have some way to cool down the water.
Kind of like an anti-pool-heater. Regardless, it's very
refreshing.

Staying in Arizona

In Arizona, we're staying at the Doubletree Resort in Paradise
Valley. It's not the most oppulent resort in the Valley, but it's
not a Motel 6 either. We like it though. We've stayed here off
and on since 1995 when Greg won a weekend here but he and
Nancy couldn't use it because they were busy moving from
Phoenix to Oklahoma. They gave it to us and we've been
enjoying it here ever since.


It's been a few years since we've been back and they've changed
the decor a bit, but it's still very nice and comfortable. Especially
since it's about 110 degrees outside. The great thing about
staying in Phoenix during the summer months is that the resorts
are very reasonable. You can stay at the nicest places for a
fraction of the cost during peak season during the winter.
I'll post more photos of the resort in the next few days.


Of course, Bruno moved right in and became very comfortable!
