Arizona / California trip - Day 5

Day of Rest....

Heh, today was the day that reminded us that we're not getting any younger. We all needed some rest after spending the entire day and evening at the Zoo the previous day. We had a great time but it did tire us out. So we decided we needed to take it a little slower today and foregoe the idea of going to the Heard Museum. (Check it out by going to this link http://www.heard.org/Page.aspx?pid=214&srcid=214 )

We went to ASU campus to visit the bookstore and the library. Unfortunately the bookstore was closed for the holidays but Jen was successful in securing the books at the library she needed for her upcoming paper. Afterwards we decided to try a new restaurant, Z'Tejas http://www.ztejas.com/ Believe it or not, we haven't tried a southwestern grille style place before. Not only was the food great but we met up with one of Jen's friends, Heather and her husband Dan and had a great time.

Tired and now fed, we wandered back to the apartment for some rest. The girls got a nap in while Tom did some web searching for airline tickets for Jen's trip back east for the holidays.

By early evening we were recharged and headed back into Tempe to see their Christmas parade and then have our 'last supper' with Jen before heading to California to meet Dave and Linda. The parade was fun (loved the decorated tank) and the meal at P.F. Changs. http://www.pfchangs.com/

Let us be the first to wish all of you a Merry Christmas!
