Last week my BRPal Scott and I went to Arizona and did some wandering there. I'd been in AZ twice before YEARS ago - a quick looksee at the Grand Canyon with my sister Carol while on the way to Durango, Colorado (huh. wow...that's a BIG HOLE in the ground! Back to the car!) and a Memorial Day Weekend in Tucson when the boys were really little (Sam was what...10 months old)
Anyway - Scott's brother Tony is the Mayor of Maricopa, AZ..he and his wife Nancy were very involved in the Relay for Life held on March 25 - so we took this opportunity to see a bit of the world as well as to walk for a good cause.
We drove northeast of Maricopa to the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert - we both uttered "wow" and "would you look at THAT!" alot. BEAUTIFUL country. Also traveled to Winslow Arizona to stand on the corner...
anyway - a good five days.
I'm seriously thinking of starting a collection of little cactus... saw LOTS of those - all types..seriously thought about trying to get one home on the airplane, and oh yah - got some pictures of a ROAD RUNNER!!!!
no wile. e. coyote tho.
