Day Five
Today we had a free day and it was so wonderful. I went to the Valley to do some shopping with my new friends, Mrs. Alabama and Mrs. Arkansas. It was nice weather and was a great place to shop. Mrs. NY and I spent sometime taking some scenic photos. Later this evening we presented our state gifts to the President of the resort Brian Johnson. It was a evening of memories. Please enjoy some more photos.




This cactus reminded me of a christmas tree.

Behind the resort there are so many houses in the mountain. It is so pretty and I would love that view every morning.

Day Four

Today we had the honor of presenting a gift from our state to the Mayor of Tucson, AZ, Bob Walkup. Mr. Walkup is an amazing man and very sweet. It was so nice to meet him and in return he presented a copper letter plaque to us. Afterwards that evening we went the most amazing mansion about 30 minutes from the resort. It was so breathtaking and beautiful. We had danced under the Arizona stars and had a great time.


Roommates at lunch. How sweet :-)

Day Two

I had most of the day off today as we were waiting for the rest of the delegates to come in, so my new best friends, New Mexico, Alaska, and Wyoming all went shopping!! It was really neat because we went to the mall and then are you ready for this... KMart!! And the best was that we were in our banners. It was so wonderful to see the reaction from all the residents here in Arizona. They are wonderful people and I would recommend coming here to everyone.

Day Three

This morning we woke up and had a mile walk down the mountain to another beautiful resort for a fitness walk and breakfast. It was a lovely walk and luckily I think the wildlife was still asleep because nothing jumped out at us :-).


Mrs. New York, Mrs. S. Carolina and Mrs. Oregon.

Another beautiful view.
