Sea Creatures in the Desert




I went to the desert and saw sea creatures! I did, I did! Last week my husband, sis and mom packed up our truck and headed to Scottsdale, Arizona. Our itinerary for this trip was hang out by the pool and chill at my uncles house. While there, my uncle told us about a new aquarium that just opened up and was next to a butterfly sanctuary we've visited in our previous trip. You can read more about that here. Since we didn't have anything to do but chill, we decided to pay the aquarium a visit. Its so so new that they were still putting some of the finishing touches like sign decals on the walls. We saw little bit of everything including sharks, alligators, turtles, penguins, piranhas, sting rays, etc, etc. Also they have a room that moves! Think of it as a carousel! That was really cool, relaxing and a little bit scary at the same time.  If you find yourself in Scottsdale, the aquarium and the butterfly sanctuary are worth visiting. For information on the aquarium click here.

Be sure to start the tour in the bathroom, you'll be amazed!

Butterfly Wonderland


I was on vacation this past week, for this vacation we decided to do a family vacation. Our destination was the Grand Canyon, in Arizona. My husband, mom, sister and myself all headed to Scottsdale first. My mother's brother lives in Scottsdale so we figured we'd make a stop there for two days and then continue on our journey.

Our stay in Scottsdale was short, two nights only. We mainly hung out at my uncles house by the pool, went to a few consignment shops for a light shopping and went to the Butterfly Wonderland! You guys, I've never seen so many beautiful butterflies in my life! I honestly didn't think there were so many varieties. So if you like butterflies or even if you don't like butterflies I think you will enjoy this post.






















 The colors, sizes, and patterns are all so beautiful. I honestly don't know which one is my favorite. Do you have a favorite? Let me know in the comments section. If you find yourself in Scottsdale you should check out the Butterfly Wonderland, its small but very informative and beautiful. I'm sharing a link to the Butterfly Wonderland website here.

I'll be sharing more of my vacation this week so I hope you come back.
