We visited the Petrified forest and the Painted desert on our way to New Mexico and it was amazing to see all the coolness of living in the desert. It was overcast and a bit chilly (well...what I think is chilly) in July.
I do have to confess to my ignorance though...When we stopped off at a gift shop outside of the Petrified forest park, I couldn't understand why Brent wanted to purchase pieces of petrified wood...I kept thinking...duh? they have plenty of them at the park we could pick up...right? Uh...NO!!!! My family members were horrified when I mentioned that to them..It's a criminal act to take
anything from a National Park...duh? I should have known that...good thing I NEVER took anything...
The painted desert was really neat to see also...It seemed almost alien to visit it...If you ever make to Arizona...I highly recommend checking these places out....
