Yesterday we toured downtown Phoenix. I was delighted when I saw all the beautiful displays marking major events in U.S history. The people of Phoenix are proud to be Americans and proud of their history and heritage. Arizona became a state in 1912. In 2012 they celebrated their centennial.
Because today is our last day in Phoenix and I need time to pack up before we head to the Grand Canyon, I am just going to share some of our photos from yesterday. I will try my best to explain as many as I can in the captions or in a brief paragraph. Enjoy!
