(Warning... LOTS of pictures!)
This summer has brought the chance to travel quite a bit back and forth between Arizona and Utah looking for jobs and places to live. During these trips, we were able to see a lot of new places and have a lot of fun. Travelling with a dog does not open opportunities to go inside very many places, so we had to be creative and find some recreation outside.
Across from the hotel we stayed in (in Fountain Hills - northeast corner of Scottsdale) was an awesome park with a splash pad and a giant fountain in a lake. That was our favorite hotel to stay in (because it was the nicest and the cheapest), however it was really far from everywhere we were looking to move, so we didn't stay there more than 2 nights.
The next hotel was in Tempe very close to ASU. The hotel was adequate, but we were upstairs and there was no grass for the dog to use for the bathroom.
The last hotel we stayed in while we came to visit before we moved was in Mesa. Unfortunately I booked this hotel before I knew it was in a not very nice area of Mesa (and the pictures on the website were NOT of the actual inside of the rooms). But it had a huge grassy area for the dog to use, and we were able to stay long enough to find a nice house, get approved, and sign the lease! So happy times were had even though it was gross!
