As the New Year approaches, there is one thing that I have on my mind (other than dreaming about champagne in my PJs on New Years morning)… my annual trip to see my Mom and Pop in Arizona!

Seeing my snowbird parents has become one of my favorite ways to break up the long Minnesota winters. Even though this year has been incredibly mild so far (50 degrees the day after Christmas? in MINNESOTA??) I still can’t wait.

So for this Travelin’ Thursday, I wanted to share a few of my favorite photos of AZ from years past!

 Are you planning a winter getaway? Where should I visit in Arizona this year? What travel sites do you use to find the cheapest ticket prices?
