Arizona Trip

I decided to take two weeks off from school and go down to Arizona to visit Mom and Dad.One of the most exciting things I saw while on this trip was a hummingbird in its nest.
Even more exciting was the fact that the bird stayed in the next while I went down the block and retrieved my camera and came back to take this picture. The wind chimes are hanging from the patio roof of a part model on the same block where Mom and Dad live. As you can see, the birds made the nest right on the wind chimes. The owner told me that the birds have used the same nest for the last three years.
April and May are good months for seeing the flowers in bloom and these pictures are just a few of the cactus we saw on our travels.

Toby Keith's - I Love This Bar


One of Toby's restaurants is located in Mesa. The napkins are white and decorated with the logo you see above the door. The inside is large enough for line dancing and includes a store where you can buy clothing, sauces, etc.

Similar to the Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood, albums, clothing and posters from Toby's career adorn the walls. There are numerous television screens, most with different channels playing all at the same time and of course, country music is playing through the speakers.

We were there at lunchtime so the mechanical bull was not in operation. I bet it gets extremely noisy in this place at night.

What a fun place. There are very interesting things on the menu like fried macaroni and cheese and deep fried brownies with raspberry sauce and ice cream. We did not have any trouble eating our meal, especially the sweet potato fries.
