Tonto National Monument

There is so much rich history in Arizona, but to be noted, right here in the Globe area. Take a drive over to Roosevelt and explore the ruins at Tonto National Monument.  The view from the lower cliff dwelling is amazing as it overlooks Roosevelt Lake and the beautiful Arizona desert landscape.

Check out the website to decide when to visit. There are often special event days at the park with free entry and other unique activities and/or presentations.

Not to say that is my all time favorite movie, but scenes and words sometimes really stick with us. Have you ever thought of getting into acting? Tonight is your night to practice...both of you.  This is sure to bring out some laughs and smiles. Life sometimes becomes so serious and it is hard to find the time or even know how to break loose with each other. You could even do this at the park at dusk...que dramatic lighting.
