The day starts with breakfast for the first time in the hotel. The continental breakfast is similar to every other hotel but today was special. This morning we were informed on the shootings that occurred in Tucson before we got there. It is truly a sad day in political history. However, the day was to brighten up, following our trip to the Desert Museum.
The trip starts with us driving up the curvy mountain road and the hitting the peak, followed by the rapid formula one style driving by DA down the mountain side. Once we arrived to the park I felt like the girl in "The Pacifier" leaping onto the ground out of the van yelling "Land!!!!!!" The museum was absolutely amazing and we were only in the parking lot. Once into the museum, I realized that this was a museum unlike any other I have ever been in. This is literally a desert that has trails cut into it. There were many cool areas and things to look at, but one stood out and that was the hawks. They had a family of hawks do a free fly demonstration. The hawks actually flew so close to us that they skimmed DA's hat. This was truly amazing to see and participate in. The hawks actually caught a small bird and we got to see one of the hawks eat it. Then they scattered just as fast as they appeared.
The day ended very relaxed. We sat in the hot tub for awhile just chilling and talking to each other. Stories from the day were discussed among some other things. So far the trip is amazing and I cannot wait to see what is in store for us tomorrow.
A shame they keep kicking you out of the pool.
