When Suzie (Drew's mom) was here we went on a few really fun day trips. The first few pictures are of Sedona Arizona. It's about two hours or so north of Phoenix. It's in the mountains so it's slightly cooler. I don't think that Sedona is as pretty as Bryce Canyon in Utah, but they do have some neat formations. The red rocks are gorgeous, it's one of the most photographed places in Arizona. I'm sure that you can see why. I think that my dad was right when he said that Phx. is the armpit of Arizona. Phx. is so hot and brown, but if you go a few hours in any direction it's so pretty.

Molly is a big fan of water
The next two pictures are of Kartchner Caverns outside of Tuscon. I'm sure that they are the best preserved caverns that you can tour. It's amazing they have a long tunnel that you go through with four air tight doors. They don't want the desert air mixing with the moist cave air. They also mist you with water before you enter. They want any particles on you to stay on you and not deposit on the cave walls. It's quite the experience. The caverns were found by two U of A students in the mid 70's. They kept their discovery a secret until they were sure that they would be preserved the way they wanted them to be. In 1988 the caverns were made public, it's now a state park.
If you look closely you can see a man in the bottom of the picture. It helps to put the size of the caverns into perspective.
