Since our Monday blog post features something related to children, I wanted to mention a great spot for kids (and adults too!)  here in the valley:

The Arizona Museum for Youth – A public/private partnership between the City of Mesa and the Arizona Museum for Youth Friends, Inc. (a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the museum) — introduces children to the visual excitement and cultural enrichment provided by the fine arts. Our environment is especially designed to spark the imagination, stimulate the mind and captivate the eye. A visit to the museum is alive with opportunities for creative expression.
