We traveled to Buckeye, AZ on Jan 7th. Buckeye is a suburb west of Phoenix. Came here to visit family and friends. When we got here it was 77 degrees. Felt SO GOOD, we just sat out in our chairs drinking it all in. This is what snowbirding in the winter is all about-sunshine and warm weather.
Our campsite. Our first time to really sit in the sun and for Denny to grill our dinner. Notice the barbecue under the RV to the right of the palm tree. First time we have had it out. This is living!
We went to visit Judy, Denny's first cousin. She lives in a park model at an RV park. Most people here stay here for the entire winter. There are 1100 spots. Happy Hour at the Tiki Hut. Band is at the back. Seniors know how to party and dance. It was very crowded. This happens every night.
Then we visited some friends in another RV Park, Happy Trails. It is huge, over 2000 spots. Again, most people stay the winter. We first met our friends in Casa Grande, in southern AZ, then Palm Springs. They finally decided to stop traveling and stay in one spot. They have been full timing since 1992. We will certainly miss them in Palm Springs. Have seen them for the last 4 years.
First time we have ever seen a cell tower disguised as a Palm tree. This is a very expensive park, so they probably didn't want to see an ugly cell tower.
Orange trees everywhere in the park
There are alot of singles traveling in RVs. We don't think either one of us would do it. We saw this sign across from us in Cottonwood. Good way to start conversations. He drives a motorcycle.
This has been our 10th area we have stopped at to visit relatives. Most have been on my Dad's side, one on my Mom, and one of Denny's. It has been fun getting to know them all on a one on one basis, instead of just at reunions. Our next stop, at Parker, AZ will be our last place to see relatives, a first cousin of Denny's.
We like this area so much that we are going to check out staying here a month next year. This time, only a week.
