Sunday Hike

Our usual Sunday routine includes going over to my parents' house for dinner, although lately we've been having Sunday dinner at our house because we watch Game of Thrones with our friends across the street who have HBO. They live in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains, about half an hour drive from our centrally located house. Being by the University, we don't have much nature or wildlife around us, although once I saw a turkey running around our neighborhood which is really strange because 1. turkeys aren't wild here and 2. the only animals we regularly see are lizards and stray cats. 

Anyhow, this past Sunday Galen and I dropped the dogs off at my parents' house (no dogs allowed there) and went for a hike in Sabino Canyon, a national park right down the road. It's crazy to think that all of this is so close to us, but we hardly come to hike. So, since it was only 90 degrees F (about 32C) that day and there was no Game of Thrones because of Memorial Day, it was perfect.
