“I would love to visit some interesting shopping malls in the area”

As I was told by our AZ friends, malls in AZ serve as air-conditioned oases for people to hang out in the summer. Arizona Mills Mall near Tempe is a huge indoor mall with an IMAX movie theater:

We’ve been to that mall several times; when my little one was little, she got stuck at a store that sold rocks, dried scorpions, rabbit pelts and other souvenirs, when she was a teen, she headed straight for the Bebe store. :)

Phoenix Zoo is nice. If you are into Westerns and such, you will like [Old Tucson Studios](http://www.oldtucson.com/)
