Spring Break

Last minute trip to Phoenix

So my dad and I had decided to take a last minute trip to South Carolina over spring break because it was a good deal ($130 round trip it can't get much better than this). However, due to an impending snow storm that was coming into Chicago we were able to change our travel plans to going to Phoenix for no additional cost.

Our flight times were a little bit crazy we got into Phoenix at about one am in the morning after a layover in Dallas. It was certainly nice to get out of the snowy weather in Chicago. The weather in Phoenix while we were there was 80 and sunny all three days. It couldn't have been better. It was nice just to spend a lot of quality time with my Dad. He is so awesome. I had been to Phoenix a few times before but it is always a nice city to go back to.

We spent a day and drove two hours south of Phoenix to Tuscon. The University of AZ is located in Tuscon. They have a really nice campus. It felt strange to be on such a big college campus. All in all, I really like the smallness of the Rockhurst campus. It is nice knowing that you can get anywhere on campus in 5 minutes or less.

A lot of the time on trip was spent hiking, biking, playing tennis and just relaxing by the pool. All in all it was a really great trip. The only thing I was not crazy about was our 2:10am departing flight back to Chicago.
Here is a picture of me at a park outside of Tuscon, Az. This is a fantastic park. This picture is take at, at least 7000ft elevation.
