In these shoes? I don’t think so.

One of the truly special things to do in Arizona is to gallery hop. There’s a super abundance of creatives in residence. Saw these custom-crafted shoes in downtown Prescott, a worthwhile detour off Interstate 17. Go for the shopping; linger over bourbon at one of the historic saloons on Whiskey Row.

Making lemonade out of lemons. Or, in this case, hot dogs. If you’re gonna be stuck in O’Hare airport, might as well down TWO Chicago-style dogs! Yum!

Super snow moon over Sedona. Captured by Dennis, one of the expert astronomers who host stargazing events at the Enchantment Resort. His excitement during the moon rise was contagious. We took turns bouncing between high powered binoculars and a massive telescope to catch glimpses of planets, stars and nebula. Geek on!!

Snuggle up next to the massive fireplace in the Bear Mountain Inn with a hot chocolate or something a little stronger...
.
.
.
It’s a winter tradition that’s endured since 1915 when the Inn first opened.
.
.
.
Famous guests have included Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower. .

Got a local holiday attraction that’s still open

Got a local holiday attraction that’s still open near you?
.
.
.
Plan a visit this weekend. It’ll revive your jolly and there are no crowds to deal with. I toured the annual Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden and was really able to appreciate the craftsmanship.
.
.
.
Each of New York’s boroughs are represented by modern and historical buildings. Architectural features are created from natural elements like acorns, leaves and bark by a team of artisans in Kentucky.
.
.
.
Although it’s hard to pick a favorite, I really love this representation of Coney Island. The show closes on January 26!

Have you tried to make pretzels at home?

I’ve never tried to bake anything with yeast, but my daughter was a willing partner, so... We found a recipe from the always engaging @altonbrown and got busy... Wish you could smell the kitchen right now. We topped them with Everything Bagel seasoning from @aldiusa
So happy to have this tasty treat to add to our 🏈 tailgate parties!
