Easter Vacation

Here we are on our vacation. We came up here on Friday morning after dropping off our very sad dogs at Steve and Donna's. We got up here around 11 am. We went to the Star Trek exhibit at the Science Museum. We spent about an hour there. It was not that big and a lot smaller than I thought it should be, considering 10 movies and 4 television series. Last night, we went to the movies at Arizona Mills. We saw Monsters vs Aliens in 3d. It was really cool and we both had a good time.

Today, it was raining when we got up. This was not good, as we had planned on going to the zoo today. We started out by going down for breakfast. We then decided to go see my grandmother, who was just diagnosed with lung cancer. We went over there and spent about 30-45 minutes with her. We talked about what was going on and what we had been doing. By then, the rain had stopped and we decided to try the zoo. We got to the zoo and had a good time. We spent at least 3 hours there, looking at everything they had to offer. We went on the tram ride twice, walked about half the zoo, and saw many things. After the zoo, we were both hungry and decided to go to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. It was good. We were both so tired that we ate about half of our meals and brought the rest of it back to the hotel. It is a good thing that we have a fridge in the room.

We are both quite tired and looking forward to coming home tomorrow and spending time with our families. Katie is already in Tucson and we will see her tomorrow as well.

Please pray for my grandmother while she goes through the treatments (they will determine either surgery or chemo this week). Also, pray for my father as he recovers from hernia surgery. Pray for the baby, while it continues to grow bigger by the day. Pray for my job situation, that it will quickly resolve itself. Finally, pray for all of our other family members, whether we see them or not, that they will have a safe Easter holiday and coming weeks.
