So we determined rather than bring a checked piece of luggage, we would just mail anything home that couldn't fit. So on my last day in Arizona, we took a trip to the UPS store to send home some goodies that either wouldn't make it past security (I'm looking at you, really nice hand creams) or couldn't fit among my overly packed carry-on bags. They arrived safe and sound, and definitely saved us a chunk of change at the airport.

A dirty car warranted a trip to the car wash. I'm not sure if I've seen as big, or as busy, a car wash as this one. There had to have been 2 dozen people waiting around for their cars at any given time. Coming from a person who probably doesn't get her car washed often enough, I was pretty impressed. And the younger me definitely would've appreciated that you could see the car going through the wash as I always enjoyed that sort of car wash. (Apparently when I was very young, I was super scared of the sort of car wash where you stay in your car. Not surprising, really.) Squeaky clean and sparkling, we were ready to get on with the day pretty quick.

 I decided to take a quick trip into the UPS Store to release a crane while the rest of my party was popping around the food store. Can't turn up an opportunity when I see it! I've learned as hard as it may be, I have to be patient when releasing cranes. I try not to be seen or do anything to be remembered. Although I sometimes just want to place one quickly, it takes a bit more time to wait for people to pass and the opportunity to take a picture arises. Patience is a virtue, that's for sure!

I think it's well known by now that I love finding little coffee/tea places. When we headed over to the movie, I got excited to see this place. Of course by the time the movie left out, we were in a bit of a rush so I was unable to poke around. But I am really excited to try it out next time I am in town. If you've been here, let me know how it is!
