Christmas Break

While I'm waiting for the Blazer game to finish so we can go to a movie, I thought I'd give an update of what we did this break (with some pictures!). We spent the vacation in Tucson warming up! The weather was great until 3 days before we left. Then it got so cold and rainy I thought I was back in Portland. It was great to go down and see friends and family and not pay for heat for 2 weeks! So here's what we did...

We watched the lunar eclipse (and Tucson has some of the best skies for astronomy). Too bad the pictures didn't turn out...

And here's more proof that I'm a terrible photographer!
We went up to Phoenix for a few days and went to the mining museum (we're in a huge bucket thing for mining). We got to see some friends from college while we were up there too. It was awesome! It made me miss BYU.
We went bowling with some of my best friends from high school.
We walked around Winterhaven which had TONS of lights
We went on a tour around Sabino Canyon. We had to be careful on the bridges...
And the beautiful Tucson landscape! Yes, we were wearing short sleeves in December!
We had such a fun vacation and can't wait to go back down and defrost!
