The rest of the story

The next day was suppose to be filled with trips to Walmart, Sams Club and Costco. Paul and I decided we could skip out of the shopping excitement so we planned a hike. We headed to Catalina State Park. We found a trail that was a large loop but we decided we should hike to the Romero pools and then turn around. The beginning of the trail was sandy and really had to walk on. Once we got up higher the view because better. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, about 70 and overcast. We reached the pools and decided to test out the water, which was freezing.

It was a neat little spot and I bet that it gets crowded during the summer. We grabbed Paul's Arizona favorite, EEGEEs on the way home and got ready to head out again.





I had read about places to go on a couple of travel books and they mentioned 4th Avenue. I assumed it would be something like Pearl Street and I was partly right. It was Pearl Street minus all of the nice stores. It was pretty hippie-ish and run down. I'm pretty surprised it was in the travel guide. We walked over to campus and found a better street to be on. We ended up have a drink at Gentle Ben's Brewery. They had beer named NCAAle and Beer Down. I tried a raspberry beer that was pretty sweet.
On our Thanksgiving we went to a movie. Paul's cousin is in the theatre business so we were able to go for free. Paul, his cousin, his brother-in-law and I went to Quantum of Solace and his brother, sister and the neices went to Madagascar. Once we got home it was pretty much time to eat. The food was great.
