Desert Museum

Day two of our journey was filled with an extensive amount of walking around a series of exhibits and winding trails. But first, we stopped at a local supermarket for some food and began driving through the winding roads to the museum. I was thoroughly excited to drive the dodge charger!! We stopped at a few scenic hot spots as we wound through the mountainous terrain. At the museum, we quickly proceeded to walk some of the trails and view the exhibits while we waited for one of the wildlife shows to start. The first show we saw consistied of a couple of reptiles and I'm not going to lie, I had a hard time keeping my eyes open throughout the presentation, but I'm not really sure why that was... We then had lunch and ventured to the site of the next show; the raptor free fly. Here we watched a family of Harris hawks stake out their territory and occasionally fly dangerously close to our heads, I believe Arion was even kniked in the head by the female flying over. The show was quite fascinating. Throughout our adventure there on, a few of us received scores updates of the Packer game which we continued to follow until we got back to the hotel and were able to watch the last crucial minutes of the game. Packers won of course and moving on to the next game in playoffs! We then went to dinner and sat around the table and talked for quite anwhike before heading back and figuring out how to post this blog via iPod because of my computer problem and I sat and wrote the blogs for the first two days before hitting the hot tub again where we were kicked out after about 30 minutes or so.
