Tucson's Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

We ran down to Tucson yesterday for an afternoon at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. It's worth a visit. Plan on at least two or three hours to enjoy the walks and exhibits. Many people spend the day. Especially interesting was the Raptor Free Flight where we were able to observe Harris Hawks in action. The other wildlife exhibits are educational.

We had dinner in Tucson at a very popular steakhouse, El Corral at 2201 East River Road. Great steaks and reasonable prices. Go early and be prepared to wait in line. We arrived at 5:00 P.M. and were immediately seated. When we left, the line was long outside ! They take no reservations. Well worth a stop.

Palm Creek RV Resort Casa Grande, Arizona

We decided to relax for the winter in Arizona and selected the Palm Creek RV Resort in Casa Grande south of Phoenix as our home for part of January, February and March, 2009. Palm Creek is a true resort with great golf, heated swimming pool, lawn bowling, tennis, and the list goes on. There are several craft classes and shops and many entertainment opportunities. We highly recommend Palm Creek if you want to unwind and enjoy the great Arizona winter weather.
