We can go early, he said. We’ll beat the heat, he said. There had been rain on Friday, and my hubby thought it would certainly make for a cooler morning on Saturday when he and I took Efrain\u00a0for a downtown walkabout. HA! I haven’t felt so much like I was in Florida since… I was in Florida!<\/p>\n
Still and all, we had a good time, the three of us, and I had lots of photo-phun.\u00a0\u00a0Here is a sampling, minus all the adorable shots\u00a0of Efrain\u00a0at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and climbing around in the giant bucket and wheel in front of the (currently shuttered<\/a><\/strong>) Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum<\/strong>. I am quite intrigued by the beautiful Carnegie Public Library<\/strong> and surrounding grounds, which, though closed to the public for safety concerns in 2001, is open for visits by appointment<\/a><\/strong>. Interestingly, it is one of four\u00a0libraries<\/a><\/strong> in the state that were built with grants awarded by the Carnegie Corporation in 1899 to 1917. We also walked around the curiously situated Evans House<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0the oldest of only two true Queen Anne-Victorian homes still standing in Phoenix.<\/p>\n
