Weekend Drive

I am currently in hot water with Cool Dad because we have been home from our Labor Day getaway for a few days not and I have not posted a thing.

Can you guess??

Drumroll please.......





We went to Tucson!!!!!

With our new residence we have a whole new area in which to spend three day weekends. We decided Tucson would be a great place to visit. We did quite a bit of research on the Tucson City website, which is one of the best city sites I have seen for visitors.

Here are some pics to show some of the beautiful things about Tucson.



There is a beautiful place downtown where they are restoring the old adobe houses. The colors were amazing.


It was also amazingly green there. Coming from the current brown/gray of our residence it was a welcome change. Although, we were told it was because they have had quite a bit of rain, and not to expect green all of the time.




Here is one of the little kids since College Daughter always accuses me of only taking landscape pics.







Finally, the token petroglyph pic since I am married to Cool Dad(I still think he is a little sad that he is know here as Cool Dad instead of Indiana Jones).






We had a great weekend, and really enjoyed our time in Tucson, especially driving to Mt. Lemmon ski resort and getting out of the heat. There are plenty of things to do in Tucson and we will definitely go back. I am hoping next spring when the cactus are in full bloom.
