California-Arizona trip






Now that we have been back from California and Arizona for a week, it's time to show you a couple of pictures! We had a good, but cold and wet time. It was geezerville everywhere! No kids or young families once we left Scott. In Tucson we went to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. One of the best parts there was the hummingbird house. Many of the birds just sat and let you take pictures of them.
The black line in the picture is the border fence with Mexico, about a mile away, near the Coronado Historical Monument.
We spent a morning at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson and took two very interesting tours, including a bus tour of a "boneyard" where over 4000 old planes and helicopters that have been retired are stored. They are now used for parts. All windows and electronic parts are covered to protect them from ultra violet rays.
Dennis is looking out at a very wet street in Tombstone.
Salla, Scott, Henkka, and Dennis are looking at fish in a pond at San Juan Capistrano. The water was right to the top of the pond and the fish would come right up and look at us. Henkka and Salla loved it.
