My birthday falls in the month of November so as a gift Jen took me on a little weekend getaway to some places I've always wanted to go!

The first place we went was Out of Africa Wildlife Park, it was awesome! Here you are able to see the animals up close and personal unlike some zoo's.

Me with a White Tiger eating away, he just got fed so he was chowing down and didn't care about me!


This is a show they put on with some Tigers that like to play in the water. I didn't know this but Tigers actually like the water unlike other big cats.



A Zebra showing off some of his recent dental work.......

This guy was one of the coolest cats there, a Siberian Tiger, he weighs 700 pounds and is a lot bigger than other Tigers!

Jen just got done feeding this guy he ate a treat right out of her hand!

Gus the Camel, he was friendly or I think he just wanted a treat!

Jen with some Tigers behind her they actually walk right up to the fence to check you out!

Jen feeding a Tiger through the fence, I did it too it was pretty cool!

Jen with some baby Grizzly Bears behind her they were big already but along ways from being full grown.

This guy was the coolest Lion there he just got fed and was growling at us because he thought we wanted his big hunk of meat they just gave him!

This is me and Jen out on a patio at Page Spring Vineyards up by Cornville, Arizona, it was real pretty there and we actually got to see some fall colors, which is rare in Arizona.

Some of the vineyards!

A pathway through the grounds at the vineyards.

Enjoying ice cream in Jerome.

Jen in front of the Jerome Grand Hotel. Legend says its haunted and I have to say it definitely fits the bill as far as looks go especially at night! Oh and it used to be a hospital back in the twenties and sat vacant for 40 years until it was recently turned into a hotel.
On the other side of the hotel is a restaurant called the Asylum, we had a great dinner there and it also has a awesome view of the Verde Valley.

Me and Jen and that's Jerome on the hill behind us.
This a picture of Jerome "the biggest ghost town in America".
