Hey we are back home now. I will write more about our fantastic trip when I get the photos off of Harley's computer. We left October 3rd and returned on October 12th. After flying into Phoenix we rented a car and drove to Chandler to visit our friends Chris and Darin Houle. We met their son Connor for the first time (what a cutie...he is almost 1 years old) and their dog Buddha. I would like to congratulate Darin and Chris as we discovered they will be expecting their 2nd child in approximately 7 months!
Just briefly here are the places we went: Black Canyon Creek for some hotwings, Sedona, the south Rim of the Grand Canyon, Slide Rock State Park, the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden, Kartchner Caverns in Benson, and the Mesa Southwest Museum of Arizona which houses the largest dinosaur exhibit in the state.
There is so much to do there that we could not possibly see and do it all so we called it the "taste testers" trip and plan to return.
Here are some great links to check out until we post some photos. I would recommend taking the online cave tour of Kartchner Caverns as we were not allowed to bring cameras inside the cave. We have visited 3 other caves on the continent and this one by far was the most impressive as far as preservation and living caves is concerned.
