  1. Traveling For Love of the Game: Reasons To Attend Baseball’s Spring Training

    Blog: Suzy Guese - 14 March 2012

    The sound of a baseball meeting a catcher’s glove signifies everything about spring for me. I get chills to hear it for the first time, especially after a long winter. Shadows are cast over a bullpen plate as a game takes place just steps away. Hordes of fans like myself watch the pitcher-catcher duo practice [...]

  4. A Weekend in Phoenix

    For spring break, I planned a family road trip to the Grand Canyon---it was simultaneously amazing and brutal. Amazing because, well, it's the Grand Canyon. Brutal because our itinerary required a butt-busting 29 hours in the car.

  9. Baseball and Chilies

    Blog: Desperately Seeking Root Beer - 1 April 2009

    Shortly after arriving in Phoenix last week, and after getting fueled up with an excellent lunch Haji-Baba, a little gem hidden in one of Phoenix's many unassuming strip-malls, we set off as planned to visit the Desert Botanical Garden. The weather was perfect – clear, blue, mid 70s – so it was the ideal time to go wander around the garden.
