Adventure: Payson

We took a road trip to Payson, Arizona today.
It felt pretty good to say to each other, "You know, we need to go somewhere today." That Brian agreed, and that we decided, at 11 a.m. this morning, to take a drive north in Arizona for lunch was a stroke of brilliance. I found a place online for lunch, Macky's, for hamburgers. So, it came down to figuring out which freeway to take to get to Payson, and then figure out exactly where the place was.
We were hoping for cooler temperatures and the opportunity to wear jeans. I put on the jeans, but we were quickly disappointed to discover that the heat was not as nonexistent as we had hoped there. A high temperature in the 90s wasn't great, but we still enjoyed the change of scenery, and our lunch was yummy.
Macky's has fried mushrooms and fried pickles. They have an Ooey, Gooey Burger that's covered in cheese. They have those good french fries that taste so delicious when dipped in ranch dressing. My lunch was really good!
Then, we drove around a little, made a stop in a crazy western shop that was huge and full of random little rooms filled with stuff from everyplace you could imagine. Then, we drove home.
As a whole, it was a good day, and a nice way to spend the five hours in the middle of our day. Next time, Flagstaff! Prescott! Sedona!
