Becky and I have spent the weekend at her parents’ place in Arizona, and we’ll be watching the Super Bowl here tomorrow on their giant TV. :) Here are some photos from the past few days…

While Becky drives, Toby rests comfortably in the spot where she almost the entire ride from L.A. to Phoenix: Becky’s lap.


You tell me: What the heck kind of vehicle uses tires this big?


Arizona’s trademark, a cactus, is silhouetted by the sunlight.


Becky’s mom gazes up at a giant tree-like cactus thingy (uh, yeah, that’s the technical term) at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum.

Trojan quarterback Carson Palmer unveils his Heisman Trophy at a rally Jan. 22 honoring USC’s fantastic winter sports season. The football team’s Orange Bowl trophy and the women’s volleyball team’s NCAA championship trophy were also unveiled.

Sporting my new haircut and USC Orange Bowl t-shirt, I pose with a large tortoise at the Los Angeles Zoo. During our trip to the zoo Jan. 20, Becky and I also saw hippos, apes, a big cat, and a pair of kangaroos that, surprisingly enough, did not know how to rap. More zoo pictures coming soon (or whenever I have time to post them).
