Day 21: Just being a Tourist Day

Started out the day with breakfast at THE WAFFLE HOUSE!  None of us have been to a Waffle House in years and saw one down the street when we pulled in yesterday so...why not? 
 

Next stop was the Titan II Missile Museum which was quite educational.  We actually got to go down into the Missile Silo and see a real missile.   Too bad this program never "got off the ground"...well, I didn't mean literally OFF the ground but that tons of (tax) dollars were spent on a program full of disasters.

On to the Saguaro National Park where the cacti were in bloom.  We drove the 8 mile loop and saguaro cacti were as far as they eye could see.  I love these cacti as they are just soooo different than anything we see on the east coast.  Drought conditions, however, has really affected the plant life.
