Pueblo Grande Museum

On Saturday we decided to venture out and see some of the sites that Phoenix has to offer. When our family helped us move down here we took time away from unpacking boxes and we asked a local working at a Fazzoli's what there was to do here in Phoenix. His reply was, "there isn't anything you can do here that you can't any other place." So, Cory and I have taken it upon our selves to prove this minimum wage teenager wrong...


So on Saturday we went to the Pueblo Grande Museum. It is a 1,500 year-old Hohokam ruin village. It is really neat to see it. It is located right in the middle of downtown Phoenix. There really isn't a lot to see. There are still walls standing and what they call a "ball court" and some mounds that they have kept preserved. They have made replicas of the homes that the Hohokam people lived in. This little museum has a lot of history of the first people in the Phoenix area and how they lived it is really remarkable.

So it was a fun adventure. Jovin didn't like all the sun that much but he did enjoy the museum stuff inside. We'll keep you updated on the FUN things we see and do here in Phoenix.
