Day 24: Moving day

As we extended our stay at this park by one day we have to move sites to accommodate other reservations. Not a problem as we have plans to go ‘off-site’ today.

Another beautiful morning, another walk about the park. It seems a little emptier as I walk about, a few more vacant sites than I recalled from yesterday. It is March 31 so maybe some snowbirds are beginning their migrations home. Not yet for us.

Today we are visiting the PIMA Air & Space museum. It’s just a few miles from the park so only took a few minutes to get there. It contains a large exhibit both indoors and outdoors of over 400 aircraft on an 80 acre site. Given its location the majority of aircraft are American but they do also have many from elsewhere around the world, including Canada, Great Britain, Italy, France, Russia, Germany and Japan.

Wright Flyer

We chose to include a tram tour of the outdoor displays so as to get the narrated description of the aircraft on display.

Boeing 707 ‘Air Force One’
NASA’s recently retired SOFIA flying observatory
Consolidated PBY-5A ‘Canso’

I’ve included a few of the pictures above that we took while visiting. We enjoyed our few hours and of course picked up a pin for our collection from the gift shop.

Returning to Lazydays RV Resort we acquired our new site for the night and proceeded to setup camp before going to the on-site restaurant and getting some chicken tacos and ice cream to enjoy on our site.

This was our last full day in this park and we’ve really enjoyed our stay. Although it was nice to stop and relax for a few days our adventurous nature is making us want to explore more of Arizona. So, check back again and see where we go from here!
