Since we've been to Phoenix a number of times, we were looking to visit somewhere we hadn't been. The OdeSEA Aquarium was under construction the last time that we were in the area. They really did such a nice job with the area as well as the aquarium itself. We saw so many wonderful sea creatures and enjoyed the treat of seeing a baby sloth! I really appreciated having a variety of wonderfully informative employees throughout the venue itself for any questions, or to provide random bits of knowledge about the animals.

I decided to take a little poke around to see what Talking Stick had to offer. Down a hallway and around a corner, we found the Cultural Center, which had a number of lovely art pieces there. It was just a little alcove before heading into the hotel portion of the resort but it definitely had some interesting pieces to look at while we waited for the other members of our party to finish up. Definitely worth a look around if you happen to be visiting!

After hitting up the Butterfly Wonderland, we decided to stop in to the Talking Stick Casino to see what they had going on. After having gone to Las Vegas just a few months prior, it was quite a shocking comparison. However, it looked like it was well attended by a number of steadfast locals who were enjoying their time indoors. The property looked pretty nice and it had a lovely convention center attached.

We decided to take a trip to the Butterfly Wonderland as a fun thing to do that we hadn't done before. I think I was the only one who absolutely adored the butterflies. I took so many pictures and even had one land on me, which I hear is good luck. There were a couple other exhibit areas, but it was not a large place. They also have an attached attraction that is a mirror maze and then a laser maze. Both were fun but the mirror maze was very disorienting to me having never been in one before. I am looking forward to my next trip back to Arizona as there was an aquarium being built right next door that I definitely will want to visit!

We did a good bit of walking around the mall, which wasn't too busy despite being just a few days away from Christmas. I was pleased that we ended up having such great weather while we were there. It's not been terribly cold at home, but I didn't even need a light jacket when we would go out! The best time to visit Arizona is winter in my opinion. It's still pretty mild but not terribly hot like it gets most of the year.

We had a very relaxing vacation in Arizona. So relaxing that I think the only time I actually left the house was to visit the mall. So we popped into one of the stores to look at what they were selling. They had a lot of stores at this mall that the malls by me don't have. So it was pretty cool to see all the different places. I didn't end up getting anything because there was no more room in my suitcase. But it was nice seeing all the Christmas decorations!

The warmest day of the trip at over 80 degrees, we decided to do some shopping in one of the lovely areas of Scottsdale. It made me totally long for warm weather at home. But at least I stocked up on the sun while I was down there. It's also nice that *knock on wood* this winter has been pleasantly mild so far with no excessive amounts of snow. I mostly keep inside during the winter months. What do you guys do during the winter to bide the time until the warmth?

In the spirit of New Years Resolutions, I've decided that 2011 will be a productive year. Did you make any resolutions for 2011? Do you not believe in resolutions at the start of a new year?
