The quaint architecture in Prescott was fascinating. This balcony is just one example

Saturday, July 29th, we went to Prescott, AZ with some new friends. We met Betty and Larry Marvin through work - Betty is a counselor at Cortez High School where I work. Marvins love the Prescott area and were kind enough to take us up there to show us the sights. We enjoyed a great lunch at a western style cafe. Prescott is a higher elevation than Peoria, so it is much cooler than down in the valley. We enjoyed the scenery of the hills, the cloudy sky and the gentle breeze and temperature. It is tradition with the Marvin's to visit Kendall's Ice Cream parlor for hand dipped ice cream every time they go to Prescott, so of course we could not break that tradition! There is always something going on at the court house square every weekend. The east end of town is flanked by a forrest and there is a butte that can be climbed. Several old, but restored Victorian style homes adorn the streets along with more modern buildings. We are anxious to go back and take our kids. This was a most enjoyable outing!

Sounds fun- especially if ice cream is involved!
Believe me, the ice cream at Kendall's is a MUST!
