Thursday morning we tried to track down a Cinnabon (I had never had one and really wanted to try one), but we couldn't find it so we ended up at IHOP. We drove over to the Desert Botanical Gardens after breakfast. The botanical garden was almost entirely comprised of cactus, but it was still really nice. We hooked up with a guided tour and learned a ton about cactus. We spent 3 hours at the botanical gardens. We went back to Aunty Opal's house for lunch and to help paint the living room and kitchen. After painting all afternoon, we went to Trader Vic's for dinner. I don't think I can put into words how wonderful the food was. It was restaurant week in Phoenix that week, so we got a great 3 course meal - started with prawns, then had the best salmon ever, and ended with a giant dish of rum ice cream. It was fabulous!!

Super cool cactus. This is one special kind of Saquero Cactus that is only happens 1 in 200,000 times. It has to do with the arms on the top of the cactus.

They look so little next to that enourous cactus
Thought this was pretty
