Phoenix

We just got back from our trip to Phoenix visiting Gary's brother, Mike and his family. We had such a great time. The weather was so nice and warm. We also drove down to Tuscon to visit Tracy and Amber (friends from Iowa). It was so nice to see them and their 2 girls. Back in Phoenix we went to a ghost town and took a ride down an old mine. Most people are scared of heights, well I found out I don't like going down mine shafts. The tour was pretty interesting though. We also got to see a old town shootout. They have people volunteer and get all dressed up. We also went to the Phoenix zoo and really enjoyed it. They had a neat exhibit for the monkeys that you actually walk into their habitat. The monkeys are all running around you. We also got to feed the elephants. It was so nice to relax and enjoy their company. A new found favorite of mine is the Wii. I really enjoyed playing tennis. We might just have to look into getting one of those. On the way to the airport we stopped out Trader Joes. I have missed that store. The have the best granola and Gary really enjoys their oatmeal raisin cookies. The flight home was nice. Thanks to Mike and Tara for letting us come and stay with you.
