Today’s the day we get to go see dinosaurs and the music store. It’s hard getting out of bed now that we’ve found out how to be comfy. We drove to Milano first. They have an old tuba without a mouthpiece mounted by their back door, and it i had time i would have found a way to play it. We walked in through kind of a small hallway that opened up to an expansive room, full of instruments. I found the french horns, and we found a lady to get it down so i could play it. I feel like an idiot because i cant play my C scale. I talked to her a little about minor scales and that im a music major, and i felt a little less dumb. It was a lovely french horn. We walked around and there’s a hallway full of violins, and i had a hard time playing that as well. Daniel found the pianos, and it was handsome to see him play in person. I know that's not the best word for it, but I like seeing him do things that require effort. I tried to impress him but the sales people made me nervous and I didn't have sheet music. that music store was wonderful I won't forget it. After that, we went to the store next door with the TARDIS door and he bought a new comic book for The Amory Wars. I saw a comic that Emily had earlier this week, and i took a picture.We left, and followed dinosaur footprints to a pretty sweet dinosaur statue. We took goofy pictures and went inside and there were huge dinosaur fossils and looking at the internal structure of things made me incredibly happy. I paid for our tickets and we walked around. Walking in there were anamatronic dinosaurs that moved around and made noises, one of them being an ancestor to my favorite dinosaur, the Anklyosaur. He had to help me walk underneath things suspended from the ceiling, i panicked when i realized i was underneath one. I got to walk around and hold his hand, and that felt good. I met a dinosaur who’s skull was nearly completely flat, and had no lower jaw. I don’t know if the fossil itself was squished, or his brain was as thin as paper. This is an excellent museum. Daniel bought a geode that we’re going to crack open later. After this we took the lightrail to spots around downtown. We walked around Mesa, Tempe, and downtown Phoenix. Everything is hot and it’s very sunny. In one part of downtown, we went into an old book store and i found sheet music. They gave me a discount because im a band person, and i appreciate that. There was also a large red Adirondack chair for people to take pictures in to make you look like you were smaller than you really were. Daniel looked like a little kid, and i look like a giant. We walked around Phoenix for maybe 15 minutes before needing to go get water. He showed me a huge mirror inside a building, and we went into a photo booth and took stereotypical pictures. We went back on the train and we took showers to cool off. We hung out and went to the Quik Trip for dinner tonight, i really enjoy taquitos and pineapple papaya tea. After that we found a quiet parking lot and listened to music. I got to fall asleep next to my best friend.
