A Few Days Away From Home

My nephew McKay is getting ready to go on an LDS Mission to Richmond,Virgina.
Kirk asked if I thought I could handle the trip.
I was excited to go on a trip that did not include a clinic or hospital visit.
My parents were married in the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple so it has a special place in my heart.
I grew up in Mesa, I always loved it when we could drive by and see the temple.
It was neat when we walked out the temple it was just getting dark. I loved the temple glowing in the lights.

Our last night in AZ my dad came over to my brothers to play cards.
between hands I was able to get a 4 generation picture.
Pretty Neat Hu?
myself, my daughter, Kira
my father,Willie and my granddaughter, Miss H.

Priceless picture if you ask me.

More Pictures

are you about sick of my vacation "slide show"?
Here are just a few more places I got to see...foothills of the Andes Mountains Jujuy (Pronounced Hoo-Hoo-E)

Providence of Salta
amazing river beds
I wish you could see this better...
the middle of the hill has ancient steps that were made to go to the top
"The Toad" is of sandstone..it is quickly melting away, due to the wind and rain
unbelievable hills (yes, in Argentina these are hills)

jungle greenery that I have never even imagined
colors to many to explain
to "Mother Earth" I may have to do a blog about "Pachamama"
looks like Arizona!
Who would have ever thought I would be standing here!

bottle brush flowers all over San Miguel
and art work of every kind
This picture is taken half way up the staircase
AMAZING, AMAZING!

What Do You Do When

Your Husband
asks what you would like for your birthday?
I usually say...nothing or lets just go out to dinner or something simple like that...
Because really...I don't "need" anything.
My question is....
How many of us really say what we really want???
So, I did this year...I said what I really wanted...
I want to go to
Argentina...
and he said....

BOOK YOUR TICKETS!!!!!!!

So, Kira and I are going to Argentina to see some of the places she served on her mission!
OH MY GOSH!!! OH MY GOSH!!!
I am so excited!
We leave on July 22nd and will be gone for 2 weeks!
WOW!!!
The only down fall...
Kirk doesn't get to go...he doesn't have enough vacation left for this year....that my friends is a bummer...
But, I will take lots of pictures to show him.
