We started our last day in Arizona by visiting Diablo Stadium in Tempe...it wasn't too far from our hotel and we didn't plan on a game there this year...but it is home of the Angels...and I just wanted to stop by and take a peek... 
I think this is my favorite stadium...not because it's the home of our favorite team, but because of the views all around. The hills that surround Tempe are so pretty and the complex is built right into these hills... 
It was a very pretty day and the field looks so nice...I also wanted to see if I could find a shirt...we always pick up shirts from Spring Training, but I always have a hard time finding one...you see I want a shirt cut for a gal...not a man...I am small and don't want man sleeves and a man fit...I was lucky and found a woman's shirt at Diablo Stadium. 
We drove over to Maryvale...the home of the Brewers...it is a nice smaller park...one of the oldest and it has great seats anywhere in the park! It was such a nice day...See all the puffy clouds passing through...no rain this day...warm air and gentle breezes! 
We found our seats right by first base...surrounded by fans from Wisconsin...that's one of the best parts of going to Spring Training is meeting people from all over our country...there are some wonderful people out there!! 
I caught a little action at home plate... 
And our favorite part...the sausage races!! They are lined up and getting ready to go!! 
Here's Don with his favorite...the Polish Dog... 
We left after the 7th inning stretch and that's weird for us because we always stay until the end of every game...but we had a long drive back home and it was already a long day in the sun...I wanted to show you this tree...it is so pretty...they are all over Arizona and all in bloom right now...I never did find out what kind of tree it is...but they are so pretty! 
One last look at the Arizona desert and the Saguaro cactus... 
Back over the Colorado River and through the border crossing in California...and soon we will be home...it was a great trip and I want to give a special Thank You to Don for taking me along on this journey!! I had a great time!!Enjoy your day, my friends and I'll be back tomorrow to show you some projects I have been working on!!

I would like to do this someday. It looks like so much fun!
Wow! I sure do miss AZ, although I lived up in Flagstaff for a few years. Now, when you say that tree is all over AZ, do you include the northern part of the state, LOL! ;D
I have never been to Spring Training. It seems that the games I wish to attend always happen around a holiday in the floral industry. Oh well! There's always a season game this summer in St. Pete!
Thanks for sharing!!!
