    My Dad and I spent this week visiting my uncle in Tucson, Arizona. We drove out on Monday, and we’ve all been enjoying hanging out around the house, catching up with each other, and having a few adventures. In a week where all I’ve wanted to do is hug everyone close to me, it’s been nice to hang out with family for a bit.

    {Tucson is home to the Boneyard, the storage and salvage facility for all government aircraft. More than 4,400 aircraft are stored here on 4 square miles of desert. We took a tour out to see some of it, including this row of helicopters, wrapped up in latex to protect them from dust and sun. The climate in Tucson is perfect for preserving aircraft: dry dry dry with caliche clay soil, which is so hard that they don’t even need a tarmac to park on.}
