Tucson 6/28/08







It's us again,



I'm coming to you from some were in Tucson Az. I think we're on the eastern side. We've been all over this town at least 3times.That's in one day. Just imagine what I could do in a week.Actually it's a pretty nice town. We started out at San Xariers Mission.It's really a beautiful place.5yrs. ago the were restoring the front entrance.They finished that and have moved on to the next section.The detail in their work is amazing.
When we were leaving the mission some of the tribe sell INDIAN FRY BREAD in the parking lot. They are not a rich tribe. No casino to help them out.Besides D and I love fry bread. I was even able to get B to try some. He liked it.amazing.
Next I wanted to find Old Tucson.This is were they shot alot of the old western movies.John Wayne is the only one I can think of[Chemo brain you know]rite now.By the time I found it and we got to the entrance it was after 2pm. there off season hrs.they close at 4pm.It takes half a day to see all the stuff in there.We decided to make it another day.
From there I started looking for the Air museum at Davis-Mon??? Air Force Base. We made it with time to spare.The boys were very impressed with all the planes stuff.The boys went on a flight simulator. I was very impressed that neither boy got sick.[I would have]
From there we started looking for a place to pull in for the night.I thought there might be an RV park somewhere near Kartchner Caverns, so I headed that way.We passed em all. Found nothing without going back toward Tucson.Hooray, we found one.Great place.It has 2000 sites and rooms.Of course I can't find the bathroom or any thing else for that matter. The boys love it. There's 3 pools 3 hot tubs and girls. These are the things We look for in camp grounds.Today is a big day. I have to do laundry.At the rate we go through clothes I may be here forever.I'll try to get it done early so we can get out to the Caverns before noon.I also want to take them to Tombstone today, so we can move on Tomorrow.
The boys have been on a hunt ever since we hit the desert for Rattlesnakes,any lizards and anything that crawls. they've found afew.But last nite they brought back a cutey. A spotted Geigo.He was really cute. Of course I made them turn it loose,so were did they put it? on the window screen of the mohome so they could watch it.
At least it was a little cooler last nite. Nice breeze. I guess they had some rain here a couple days ago,but we haven't seen any.
Well that's about all for now. Take care.

Have I said how jealous I am recently?????

Smooches to all.

Looks like you're having a great time and wonderful adventures! We can't wait to take a road trip (much less ambitious than yours) to Yellowstone and places along the way next summer. We aren't letting Mike and Stella get too bored without Ben around. See you soon...

Love, Scott and Jeanne
