Year 2 - Day 265 - December 31

This cell picture doesn't really do it justice, but it's neat to watch the sunrise in northern Tucson, because there are mountains between you and the sun. It makes sunrise take forever, but as soon as the sun pops over the mountains it's like someone turned on the bright light switch. And oh, so early! We were racing the sunrise to the airport at 6:30am. Yawwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Year 2 - Day 363 - December 29

Today we headed down to the Pima Air & Space Museum. The downside is that it isn't free like the real ones, but the upside is that they have a really cool set of planes. A lot of the museum is really just old (and newer) planes parked in the desert. Other exhibits (older, more special, etc) and things are inside hangers.

This particulary weird shaped plane is called the Super Guppy. I also thought it was cool to see the NASA "Vomit Comet" that they use to practice weightlessness.

Year 2 - Day 362 - December 28

Every time I turn a corner and see huge alcohol displays in a place like Target out here, it surprises me!

Day 81 - March 22

My dad, as drawn by one of my 5th graders after finding out that my dad can't hike right now due to high levels of rattlesnake activity.  It made me laugh out loud!
