Come Follow Our Blessings...: Tucson Road Trip...to Celebrate Graduation

The perfect excuse to take a road trip...Tucson bound, minutes after we pick up report cards! A dear friend of our family graduation from high school and celebration was Memorial Day weekend. We got a little crazy this time...we rented a car and stayed in a hotel for 3 full days vs. staying with our friends. This meant pool at the kids' fingertips, a nice breakfast spread in the hotel, naps and plenty of rest! It also meant 2 stops at In and Out Burger for the mama! 3rd attempt failed, was voted out by my baby girl and her daddy! Boo!

We had a chance to experience Tucson's day heat, but loved the cool evenings and amazing sunsets against the East Mtn., along with a mild breeze. We also had a chance to visit the Tucson Mall, which was really big for my kids - perfect excuse to spend the $ auntie sent with the kids! I got an Arizona Wildcat t-shirt, against Dad's request; guess when you're a lobo, it's a sin? Oh well... The Tucson Children's Museum was a fun place for the kids to experiment with music, science, and use their wild imagination.

Personally, I can't get enough of Tucson's beauty. The saguaro cactus' are breath-taking to me. The image and scenery is peaceful.

Celebrating alongside Marissa and her family was special. My kids think the world of their two kids so to see the bond and excitement when the 4 of them see one another, which such a huge age gap, it's special. Glad we had the chance to take part in her milestone. We wish her only the best as she tackles Northern Colorado and shows off her tennis talent!

Kudos to my babies for being the best little travelers in the whole universe...no complaining, always content with the moment (well a few moments anyway....In/Out Burger doesn't count)!
