Easter day 3/31

Easter sunday   3/31/13
Happy Easter everyone.
After a nice breakfast headed to Fagstaff to see the movie GI Joe.  Lots of action but not that great.
Then some lunch at Panda Express.  From there off to the forest behind the American Hotel (nice hotel) to do a geocache.  Hard one. About ready to give up when I saw a little rock that looked suspicious.  Yep there it was, nice one.  Then to Walmart for some shopping before heading to the Rv park.  Stopped at the Rv store to get my Easter goodies from Bunny/Jim.
