Rob Escapes Rabid Carnivorous Reptile

Last week, Rob and I drove to Arizona for my former roommate's wedding. One result of the 12-hour drive, each way, was a sort of deliriously loopy mood that developed in both of us. Rob became very excited at the idea of taking a photo alongside these dinosaur statues near Holbrook, Arizona. (I will say here that he is a very nice traveling partner and excellent tourist.) Frugal that we are, we chose not to pay the stinking overpriced admission fee to enter the park and take photos legally. Instead, we pulled off the interstate and squeezed under the barbed wire barricade, braving the thorns and burrs that would later lodge into the soles of our feet, in order to capture this lovely photo.

I'm quite proud of it.

Cool picture! You may remember, Rob, that my dad pastored a church in Holbrook for a couple of years. That area has a real beauty to it; very different from the midwestern landscape but wonderful sunsets.
