We were passing by Area 51 which apparently is where aliens once landed so of course we had to stop by.  Well, lucky for onlookers, we just so happened to pack the girls’ alien suits.

We found some nice BLM land near Tucan to boondock on that was close to Tucan and the Arizona Desert Museum. Justin and I had visited this museum previously when we were just dating so we knew it was a good one.  Justin’s mom happened to be visiting Tucson, so we planned to meet up with her for a day at the museum.

In the greater Phoenix area there are so many museums, zoos and other adventures to choose from.  Since that could get really pricey, we decided to just pick one.  A perk to choosing this wildlife park was that I got in for free since it was by birthday month!  How nice!  This lowered the cost significantly and made us feel better about choosing this adventure over others.  We had a great time at this park, with a 17-foot Python that we could pet being the highlight!

On the trip south from Moab to Hovenweep National Monument we came across the Hold N’ The Rock.  What a fun (and long) pit stop!!  We took a tour, explored the grounds, and visited the animals.
