Phoenix 7-2-08

Today was a light day. It's just too darn hot to do anything in Phoenix. We did go to the Arizona Museum of Natural History (http://mesasouthwestmuseum.com/Home.aspx). It was one of the better natural history museums I've seen. Good explanations of the exhibits and very kid friendly. The best part for me was 'Arizona in the Movies' where they talked about the various movies that have used Arizona as a backdrop. Very interesting for movie buffs.

After a siesta, we went to the Desert Botanical Gardens (http://www.dbg.org/). Very well done. As you'd expect, lots of different variety of cacti. The pictures don't do it justice, but I've posted them anyway. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14772189@N03/sets/

Tomorrow, we tour the Ping Golf Club manufacturing plant.
