Worlds biggest swap meet!?

So...Todd got called in for jury duty today and I was feeling lazy...so I was watching some pretty interesting tv. The travel channel, one of my favorites, was having a show called "Super Stores." Me, having a LOVE for shopping, turned to it. When it came on...they were talking about THIS. Ummm, what!? Basically, when your luggage is lost forever, the Unclaimed Baggage Center buys it and sells whatever is in the luggage and the luggage itself. They had a TON of stuff! Clothes, jewelry, ipods, golf clubs...you name it, they probably have it. They even had art. Yes, art. So, who is up for a trip to Alabama to visit with me? Hey you never know...maybe you'll find some of your own stuff!

Zoo!

Todd and I like to "borrow" our nieces and nephews from my brothers and sisters...I guess its so we can get in some practice for when we have kids. Thanks guys for letting us take them! Anyways...a couple weeks ago my brothers kids were on spring break and so was Todd and I was off work, so we decided to go to the Phoenix Zoo. Its not that pricey but we figured that we could take the kids often so we decided to buy a season pass. Its such a great investment and pretty cheap too! So, I loaded up the kids, headed to Target for some snacks, picked up Todd and away we went! My parents also came along so there was a nicely sized group of us. (Me&Todd, 4kids and my parents!) The weather was so nice and other than me starting the beginnings of a horrific cold it was a fun time! We really wanted to go to see the new exhibit with the Komodo Dragons. They scare the crap out of me but they are so fascinating! Also, the baboons in the pics below I swear are trained to take pics! We would tell the kids to go up next to the glass and the monkeys would walk right up to the glass, stop for the pic, and then move on. It was cool!
