We had our first in-person committee meeting during NWFA's annual expo this week in Phoenix, so it was a chance to visit with my parents as well as deep dive in to our committee work.
Win/win.
The 'rents live in Scottsdale so I was doing a lot of driving up and down I-51 but it was all worth it.
Once the meeting part was over, mom, dad and I took a field trip to see the newest exhibition at the Heard Museum, "Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera". It featured many of their paintings and sketches, as well as photos of them. Fascinating.
It's the only time it will be displayed in the U.S. so we had to go.
Plus, it got my mom and dad downtown, which they hardly ever do.
Last evening, I took dad to the closing night reception for the expo, which featured the Lt. Dan Band. The talent Gary Sinise has in the band is amazing, and they all go to showcase their skills equally. Gary himself was happy to play backup, and of course would once in a while make his way off the dance floor to join the crowd; he knows what the people want.
A short two days in the Valley, time to head home to celebrate Easter with the family, and to unpack/repack.
Next adventure begins Tuesday.
