It's time to play catch up! My Spring break treat was a trip to Phoenix and visit with Mother. I had been reading books about Arizona, including one title Counting Arizona's Treasures. Several of the books that I read mentioned the Heard Museum as one of the treasures, which it is. But the real treasure is my mother! We had a great time together looking through family photos, attending the Temple (another treasure) and having meals together.
We went to The Gilbert House. A restaurant housed in a 1928 Sears-Roebuck Craftsman home. This old tractor display is part of the Farm House Village where the restaurant is located.
The Heard Museum is a wonderful place. Plan to spend the day when you go. We saw a temporary display about the World War II Indian Code Talkers. I just happened to be reading Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac at the time. Thanks to Bob we were able to visit with descendants of Navajo and Hopi Code Talkers.
We had dinner at The Fry Bread House. This award winning restaurant was started by a Native American women about 20 years ago to earn money to put her children through school.
We had fry bread tacos. It is the lightest fry bread that I have ever eaten.
