Fountain Hills and Saguaro Lake Cruise

We took Pam and Dick for a drive to the little community of Fountain Hills. It is just east of Scottsdale and is well know for having the highest fountain spray in North America. We then went on to Saguaro Lake to have lunch and then take the boat cruise.

 The fountain goes off on the hour for 12 minutes. It is quite a site to see. The lake is right in the center of the town with a beautiful park all around it

We then went on to Saguaro Lake expecting to have lunch at the Lakeside restaurant before our ride. We got their just at noon and our ride wasn't until 1:45. We ended up having to wait 45 minutes for a table and then once we got inside, we had to wait over an hour for our food. I never got to eat my lunch as I had to leave to get our tickets. the others got about 2 mouthfuls before they had to come and we ended up being last on the boat. Luckily, we had our cooler with us were able to put our food in the cooler for when we got back. We were not happy campers at this point let me tell you!

 The view was spectacular and irt was such a lovely day to be out on the boat.
