An Adventure It Was!

When you find your favorite breakfast place, and then spend some hours at a wildlife conservation center. It was really neat to see all the different animals (so many not pictured) and to hear the stories of how this place got started and how the animals got there!

🌼 If you're in Scottsdale, highly recommend you visit the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center (you won't regret it)

🌸 They also have a little gift shop you can stop by. (got a javelina magnet, not pictured)

🌻 Great place to visit and try something other than regular everyday places to visit

🌹 Well worth your time
