Vegas, Baby!

Cécile's first weekend off in a long time. We met some friends from France up in Vegas. Here we are at...well...you know.

Jojoba Trail

Today we drove out to Bartlett Lake and hiked the Jojoba Trail. It was a little too much for Simone. She'll be sleeping for the rest of the night.

Mystery Castle

Once again, we had no real plan to go anywhere special. We just headed south on 7th St on our way to South Mountain Park. At the end of the road, we saw a sign for Mystery Castle.













We managed to get a little hike in after the tour.







All in all, a perfect Sunday.

Sunday In the Park with Barry and Simone

I know they're around here somewhere.

Barry says that this is his best side.

Rose Trémière Update

We planted these right around this time last year from some seeds that Mamy sent us from Cergy. There are still no flowers yet but we're pretty sure they ate one of the neighborhood cats.

Wag 'n' Wash

Somebody we know needed a bath really badly. Simone came along for moral support.

If you're going to be late, you should call

Barry went out with some friends from work for happy hour last Tuesday and was a little late coming home (6:50PM). Simone didn't appreciate it.

Clear Creak

Every few weeks, we just have to get out of town. Today, we decided to go up to Camp Verde to see what we could see.



We didn't have any particular destination in mind. Most times, we just go and leave the details up to chance. This time, chance took us to Clear Creak.





Once again, chance comes through.






The trail itself is beautiful, even without the creek. There are sycamores everywhere.





We didn't go quite as far as we would have liked to because we had a late start. We'll be back though. We're thinking that next time we will camp out the night before and then take off into the wilderness area in the morning.
