Payson and Strawberry

Our day trip up to Payson, Pine and Strawberry was awesome. When we left Fountain Hills where the temperature was in the low-90s and within an hour we were in the mountains where the temperature was in the 70's.

During the trip we stopped by several interesting sights including an art gallery (Deb picked up a copper wall handing) and Tonto Natural Bridge (State Park). At the Tonto Natural Bridge we walked to some of the the view points that we could reach with a 10 month old. Mia enjoyed having the cool breeze on her face. We also drove North to the Mogollon Rim.

All of these places we visited on the day trip were beautiful and reminded me of the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan. The best part of the trip was that we were only 1 hour away from home.
