Our trip coincided with Easter. The day started with a visit from the Easter Bunny, followed by services at Glenna’s church. And of course Easter dinner. Glenna’s senior center had an amazing buffet with a prime rib the size of a stegosaurus.
Later on the second day we met up at Glenna’s apt complex. The pavillion near the pool was a great spot for a family cook out.
Our second day started with a early hike in the desert. It is easy to forget how much color the desert has in the spring and the beautiful are the cactus flowers.
We went to Tucson to visit Jeff’s family, mom Karen, step dad Ted and grandma Glenna. We were able to time it so that we also got to spend time with his Aunt Jane and Uncle Walter.
There are lots of great reasons to visit Tucson, but Jeff and I go for family and food. Lots of good tasty food. Here is a sampling of the meals we enjoyed during out visit.
My friend Julie invited me to attend a fundraiser for her kids athletic program. By ‘attend’ she meant take a bus filled with soccer moms (and a few dads) and head on down to the casino.
We spent most of the day playing bingo, which I found to be extremely boring. But Julie won $40 so she was excited. After we finished that we played the Penny Slots. Oh my gosh what fun that was! And I won $20! (I played $10 on the slots and $20 on bingo cards, but who’s counting…)
