The coolest bike path

Yesterday we rode the coolest bike path at the Saguaro (pronounced "sah wah row") National Park - it's actually a one way road, but we saw no cars on it, so it may as well have been a bike trail. It is a super curvy path with fantastic rolling hills, one killer climb, and awesome decents. For the first 10 minutes, you are basically flying at almost 30 mph going up and down and whipping around curves - it's so fun. And it's in the middle of about a million different types of cacti - especially a ton of saguaro. We're going back this weekend.

Check out Bergie as she cruises by our favorite new plant on her sweet looking new bike - you can click the pic to see more Tucson photos. We decided that since I'm too old and crippled to run any more, she needed to get a bike, and she's already proving to be a good biking buddy - always making me go further than I had initially planned for every ride.


Of course, it hasn't been all bike rides and play time for the Godfreys. We've spent the majority of our first almost two weeks just getting unpacked and moved into our new place. We really lucked out with our apartment. While it's a lot more cramped than our old house in Minneapolis, it's still pretty sweet. Here's my new office. And for those of you thinking of coming down - yes, we have a pool. And it's pretty sweet.

It's been mostly smooth sailing since we got here - people have been great, we've got nice neighbors (old people mostly), the scenery is fantastic, and the food is pretty deece. The electric company screwed us one day and cut our power. (Damn you Tucson Electric!!!) In a matter of hours, our house turned into an oven, but that got resolved within a day, and we're back to sucking energy and chilling in the comfort of our air-conditioned condo.

Oh, and we have officially been married for one month. I got LeeAnne flowers. She got me - nothing. Hmmf! Anyway - marriage is bliss. I recommend it.

I'm back to work, and working from home is going pretty well. LeeAnne starts school next week, so it is going to get wicked quiet around here. This weekend, we're going to the Peach Festival in Willcox, AZ for some serious Peach Mania. Hopefully, it's not the pits.

By the by, a trip to Tucson makes a fabulous weekend get-away.

See you around!

P.S. Arizona is a state of mind!
