Where the Pavement Ends: Off-roading in Sedona
Off-roading in Arizona is a popular activity. Sedona has so many cool trails available for off-roading. While you can choose to take a guided jeep tour, with a proper vehicle (SUV, Hummer or Jeep) Sedona’s dirt roads can be a fun inexpensive off the beaten path adventure.

Day Trip to Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Arizona
Out of Africa Wildlife Park is just north of Phoenix in Camp Verde, about 30 miles from Sedona. The park is nestled right up against the Mingus Mountains. This park is all about the big cats.

Tubing Down Arizona’s Salt River
Floating down the cold Salt River is a perfect way to cool off and relax on a hot summer day. The scenery in Tonto National park is beautiful. You can bring two cars, and your own tubes and spend the day on the river or you can rent a tube and get a ride with Salt River Tubing. Salt River Tubing is located in Mesa, just outside of Phoenix.

Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC
The Holocaust Memorial Museum is a short walk from the Smithsonian Metro stop. I tried to book tickets to this museum three months in advance and was not able to get tickets online. On the first morning I was in Washington DC I stood in line to get a timed ticket. It was worth the 2-hour wait. A visit to the Holocaust museum is profoundly somber. It makes you think about your own personal prejudices.
