Thanks, Rob!! I'll be there on business, coming through from Denver. I typically stay in Scottsdale, since that's where the market research facility is. I don't often have a lot of time for fun.

One time my son was actually working in Phoenix in the winter and he took me on a WONDERFUL whirlwind 24 hour tour of a hike up Camelback (which nearly killed me--unlike the Green Mountains, there's NO bramble to grasp onto!), a walk through Taliesin West (AMAZING), a stroll through the Botanical Garden (beautiful and prickly!) and then we TRIED to see the Norman Rockwell museum but it was closed by that time. It was such a memorable experience.

I'll try to catch the Tempe Town Lake for sure! Thanks for the tip.
