Our next stop has been on Denis’ bucket list for a few
years. Back when Denis worked at Target headquarters one of his favorite people
was Bob Ulrich. Bob was a collector of musical instruments and eventually
founded the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix, Arizona.
MIM displays over 6500 musical instruments from over 200 countries around the world. We thought this would be a quick walk through, but we ended up staying over 4 hours. Visitors are given headphones that activate and play music from an instrument when you walk up to it, must be Bluetooth technology. Then as you walk away from an exhibit the music fades quietly away and the next begins as you approach that display. Highly recommend the MIM.
For our overnight in the Phoenix area we camped at McDowell
Mountain Regional Park. The park provided beautiful vistas of the mountains and
perfectly raked sand sites reminiscent of a Zen garden. I found myself
tiptoeing to our picnic table so as not to mess up the raking pattern.
