Public art installation that is suspended above the Arizona Canal in Scottsdale Arizona. Made from 50,000 colourful ripstop nylon streams attached to monofilament, this lightweight kinetic sculpture harnesses wind currents to rise and fall dramatically. On display from Nov. 17, 2017 to March 5, 2018.
One more experience checked off my bucket list! We booked our hot air balloon ride with Hot Air Expeditions and they were great.

Property was clean, staff was helpful, but i was shocked this hotel had a 9+ star rating. It's a funky, boutique vibe but I wouldn't say its a 9 rating as there was nothing special or premium about it, in my opinion. Felt like an Ikea showroom.

Pros: The room was clean, bed comfy, parking plentiful, seems safe, pretty quiet; great location for Giants Spring Training Cons: walls are thin. Let’s say the beds squeek and you can hear snoring.
