Wow What a day! Tubing didn't turn out quite like we planned... It was actually too hot and we weren't properly prepared for a tubing expedition. That didn't stop us from cruising Tonto National Park and experiencing the Salt River.  The kids are starting to ask for the "mall"! I guess my travel itinerary didn't include enough retail opportunties! Oops... forgive me!  I feel like a local now... I have learned my way around Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa and know how to use the 101, 202 and 60  to get around! From Gila River, we found outlets and many malls that are within 30 minutes. FUN!
