So what's in Tucson you may ask? Well, let us tell you! We got the hook up from our good friends...Brad, Vanessa and their two kids Hunter and McRea. Brad goes to Thunderbird with Dan. Well, Vanessa's parents have a vacation home in Tucson and we were kindly invited to spend the weekend away with them. So to Tucson we went with Brody and Kylee as well.
Our first day there...what do to? Well, if I'm gonna be that close to Mexico I want some dang good Mexican food. Not On the Border. I'm talkin authentic, tu madre en la cocina, Mexican food. Well, Brad took us to this little place....Let me just say this much. The guy who took our order was Asian. So moving on....
We really had no plans set while in Tucson. We were really just excited to get out of Glendale for the weekend and spend time with our friends. The boys are always so busy with school it's nice when we can all get together and just relax. So on a whim, we decided to check out Tucson's "main attraction," the Biosphere. If you were like me and are thinking what the heck is the Biosphere...let me tell you. Actually, let Wikipedia tell you because I was half asleep during our 90 minute tour.
it was used to explore the complex web of interactions within life systems in a structure that included five areas based on natural biomes and an agricultural area and human living/working space to study the interactions between humans, farming and technology with the rest of nature.[2] It also explored the possible use of closed biospheres in space colonization, and allowed the study and manipulation of a biosphere without harming Earth.
Get the idea? It wasn't THAT bad. Actually, we all had a great laugh about it because we had no idea what to expect lol. We're fun people like that!
Later in the evening, upon returning from our enlightening field trip, we hit up Tucson's finest shopping mall! We browsed the shops and I introduced Kylee to Charming Charlie. If you don't know what it is, it's a glorious place every woman should seek out. I've had my eye on one of these vinyl wallets for a few months now. They're usually $15 and I finally said, "what the hay! I'm buying one!" Much to my surprise, it rang up as $3.97....SCORE! So Ky got one too. We were more than thrilled!!! $3 wallets = Tucson is awesome.
Keeping with the whole "on vacation" theme, we ended both our evenings with a dip in the hot tub. I don't know what it is about hot tubs, but we literally spent over an hour each night rising our body temperatures while having conversations about...trust me you don't wanna know lol.
Any excuse to spend a few days away from Saturday chores and grocery shopping is great, but it was even better to have a place to stay and spend it with our friends. Thanks so much Brad and Vanessa! Let's do it again sometime!!!
