Steppin' Out- Sorta

So last week tony and i were off for four days...we had big plans.. we were going to explore the caves and then drive up to the grand canyon... instead we laid on the couch coughing and feverish feeling miserable!!!! i was so pissed...this was our first chance to go out and see the sites. Oh well, we did get to the desert museum, which was not so much a museum as it was a walk in the desert with wild animals everywhere!!! it was amazing. I think it was a one mile walk in the desert ( near saguaro national park-so the drive was amazing, nothing but mountains and cacti for miles) with a few "zoo-like" exibits. The animals in a large enough area to run, but definatly had the zoo feeling, the enclosed snakes and spiders and scorpion behind glass. The rest of the place though, was outstanding. So you walk through the desert and the plants are labled for you with information about what you are looking at, and there are wire fences all around, barely noticable until you see a javelina or a coyote, then you notice that they are fenced in, or we are fenced out. One or the other.. It was soo cool....
the drive up the mountain to get there was a little intimidating though. No guard rails, nothign between your car and the edge of the mountain except for road...RATSSS!! i was trying to load some photos, but it won't let me...dammit...i will try to post some later on!
on another note...MY MOM AND DAD ARE COMING TO VISIT!! our first guests, and then the next week BARB is coming!! YAY!!! i am glad that we got sick when we did, so it wouldn't ruin our fun!!! can't wait to see you guys and dolls!!!
hopefully i can get the photos up soon, or at least post the link so you can see them!
