Fort Verde, doctor's house
Apparently, the doctors assigned to Fort Verde were also naturalists collecting specimens for museum such as the Smithsonian!
Montezuma Well cliff dwellings
Dinner - 5 cheese macaroni!! Intense!

Mike found out at the last minute that his paper submission date was pushed back, so we decided to take a little trip. We went to Camp Verde just 2 hours north of Phoenix. The weekend was full of military forts, cliff dwellings, petroglyphs, and a little gambling. Sadly, it wasn't much cooler in the Verde valley but it was still nice and we can check several more things off of our 'to see' list. The petroglyphs were amazing! There are more than 1000 at the V-V Heritage site and very well-preserved. The chimney in the field is from an old ranch house that used to be on the land. Can you imagine? Just a short walk to the creek from the house and there is a huge wall of petroglyphs 400 or more years old?!
The cliff dwellings at Montezuma Well are pretty incredible as well. It is hard to imagine climbing up to these homes on ladders or ropes, but what a great view!
It was a great trip and we came home Sunday night to grill and watch movies in the pool. We don't have many pool days left and we have to make the most of them!
