Christmas Visit, day two

For the second full day of our family's visit, we decided to take them on a mini-tour of Phoenix since my future brother in law had only been here on layovers. We started with a visit to the state capitol building. There's a park across the street with all of the war memorials. We took a photo in front of the cool giant bell in the Korean War memorial.

There were a lot of pigeons, and Bubba was completely fascinated by them.

In front of the capitol building itself, there were some pieces of petrified wood. We tried to get a picture of the baby on one of them, but he wouldn't look at the camera.

After we left there, we headed over to South Mountain. At the entrance to the park there are these cool old buildings, so we had to get pictures there too.

I love the self timer function on my camera!

We drove up to where we had our wedding ceremony. It's really nice and overlooks the city.

We got married right on these steps!

The baby approved - he went up and down them about a half dozen times before we dragged him away.

We made a few other stops, and then headed over to La Grande Orange for dinner. My husband's grandparents, who live at the very farthest opposite end of the city from us, were able to come join us, which was really nice. They hadn't seen the baby since he was only a few weeks old!

We ended the night (well, at least I did) with one of the fantastic Tammie Coe cupcakes that they carry in the grocery next to the pizzeria. YUM!
