Last day in Arizona

[glacier_kitty]

Today we drove to Phoenix (well Tempe, close enough haha)..since our flight back to Alaska leaves tomorrow, we thought it would be easier and less stressful to get to Phoenix a day early. We expected snow today too, but we didn't expect to wake up to a BLIZZARD. Luckily it kinda cleared up late in the morning, but it was still a little scary getting down the very steep driveway. When we got to Tempe we checked into the hotel and then went to the mall next door, Arizona Mills (like Grapevine Mills in Texas!). We ate at Rainforest Cafe and then went to the aquarium (a mall with an aquarium, that's a first!). It was a REALLY nice aquarium with lots of interesting animals and information. The sharks, manta rays and turtles were definitely some of the coolest animals (they rescued both their turtles..they had damage from boats on their shells, aww :(). That was a nice end to the trip..it's always sad to end a trip, but I miss Abby a lot and can't wait to hug her! It'll be nice to go back to work too lol

The other day mom and I went through some of the boxes in the garage and found TONS of pictures..we spent hours looking through them, and there's still lots more for next time. So weird seeing pics of myself so young..too bad I can't remember a lot of the events from the pics. I especially loved seeing pics of me and Snowy as a kitten!! Next time I should take a pic of one of them and post "now and then" pics. Lots of history in that box..

I can't imagine getting in and out of your driveway in Payson during the snow lol! I can't believe how much it did snow, so crazy from your pics! I've heard that the snow usually doesn't hang around for too long there though, so that's good.

I've been to Arizona Mills Mall before with my brother, when he lived in Tempe! Haha so I totally remember that Rainforest Cafe :P I didn't realize it had an aquarium in it though, how cool!

Aw that box of pics sounds amazing :) I'd love to see pictures of Snowy as a kitten haha.
