It's everyone else that doesn't think it sounds "right." They got to name their National Museum of the American Indian situated which in a prominent place on the Mall in DC. And they did.Sponge-headed ScienceManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914014641719908195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-48408433144194017612012-08-23T18:10:17.149-04:002012-08-23T18:10:17.149-04:00Been there, and Roy is right on, right on, right o...Been there, and Roy is right on, right on, right on!

You'd need the seasons too.<br /><br />Is this to be a hiking trip? Mid to late November weather could be perfect for that. <br /><br />Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-85798802332950222582012-08-23T13:18:26.890-04:002012-08-23T13:18:26.890-04:00Make sure you go on a helicopter ride over the Gra...Make sure you go on a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon and check the # of minutes in the air. I was in Phoenix and took a bus tour to Sedona then used Maverick helicopters for a fantastic 50 minute ride. Only 8 passengers so we all got a good view and my honking Nikon and big lenses somehow garnered me a seat in front--way cool. Those trAding posts are ripoffs full of overpriced stuff. The Indians extract every dollar possible from gullible tourists (w lots of made in China crap). There's a really good Indian museum in Phoenix. I don't use the PC term because I have Indian blood way back and I don't change what I call my relatives to suit PC trends. The Phoenix zoo is great and also the botanical gardens there. And a cool zoo just outside Phoenix as well. Great hiking around foothills near Phoemix. Fantastic churches to visit on Sunday, packed, and rocking w praise songs (skip the mainline denominations and visit the new and thriving nondenominational evangelical ones). I gather the river is low for SERIOUS rafting, but still fine for families.<br /><br />I'm hoping to take the Boy Kid thee to visit my sister when the temperature eases up on Phoenix (October or November)<br /><br />Excuse fat fingered iPhone typos...Retrieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036341287285545932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-71604751251678664152012-08-23T10:11:39.490-04:002012-08-23T10:11:39.490-04:00Long time Arizonan here.
