We toured the Kitt of this Peak!
Today's festivities consisted of a (re)tour of Kitt Peak. It was really awesome to revisit the dome we worked in in October as well as tackle the climb AFTER having taken my inhaler and not suffering an attack on the way up! I didn't think I would be taking pictures of any of the telescopes because I had already taken several in October, but I did anyway. The telescopes looked the same as I remembered and the sky was just as blue as I remembered. Something new this trip, however, was the visit into one of the telescopes run by the Steward Observatory that was closed off to the public. We are so cool that we got a special tour of the facility! After our return to the hotel, Don, Justin, Jen, and I made one last trip to sweet tomatoes for dinner where Eric joined us not too long after our arrival. Don and I went for a short walk afterwards before heading back to the hotel. I hung out by the hot tub with a few people for a while until about 10 and headed back to my room to pack for tomorrow's venture home. I had every intention of rejoining everyone once I finished packing... But that didn't really happen, the bed was just so comfy that I decided to lay down, write this blog and snuggle in for bed. It's been a wonderful trip for which I thank everyone as it is back to the tundra in the evening.

I think most, if not all of us are ready to head back. That said, I also suspect that most, if not all of us would like to bring this weather with us.
