And when I say flea market I really mean huge outdoor mall type thing, because this place is way too big to be a flea market in my opinion.
Aunt Sandy and I left Sunday morning on the hour long drive to Mesa to pick up her sister Jan and friend Norma, and we made our way to the flea market.
I had heard from various sources (Dad, Aunt Sandy, Grandma) that the place was big, but man is it BIG. It was rainy all day, but it matter much because everything was inside huge tents (well, not really tents, but long buildings that consisted of roofs and support poles, but no walls. That probably doesn't make any sense, but whatever).
There were four looooooong rows of 'shops' holding everything under the sun.
After our day out shopping we retired back to Jan and Steve's park model. It was my first time actually meeting Jan and Steve, and they're a hoot. They have a great sense of humor and are just really fun to be around. Jan made a delicious supper, steak and roasted veggies (my fave!), and we all got to visit for a while.
They live in a community like Grandma's, where it is all park models and RVs, and they have community centers and things of the like. So after it had stopped raining and our bellies were full, we decided to take a soak in the hot tub.
I'll leave out the part where we had desert when we got back from the hot tub.... oops, did I write that? A nice hot brownie and ice cream to top off a great day.
Aunt Sandy and I slept in the extra built on room at Jan and Steve's so that the next day we could go to the Phoenix Botanical Garden.
It was fun to see all of the different kinds of cactus and other plants that thrive in the desert. Much different than what we have at home (no corn in sight).
Awesome Sun Dial
