Valley Easter Activities: Great Spots for Family Photos

Sure, I want to have a great time, enjoy some beautiful scenery and drink in the experience.  But, I feel especially inspired to take family pictures when I’m in an enchanted place.  Here are several places around the Valley hosting Easter Egg Hunts that have great photo-memory-making potential:
