Feb 18 – Feb 23, 2013

 

Left Lake Havasu City around noon on Monday.  Stopped at Tonopah, AZ and soaked in the hot mineral springs there…twice – once before dinner at a Mexican restaurant – awesome authentic food – and then after dinner for an hour.  Very relaxing – what a treat!

Made rest of the trip to Tucson on Tuesday after stopping at Eloy, AZ on I-10 to dump our tanks and get fuel.

Here’s our parking spot in Tucson – friend Nancy’s sister’s home and the parking area that Nan and Lou use when they are here in Tucson.  It’s our for now.

Tuesday afternoon, Rick, Jerry’s cousin and his girlfriend came by.  They live in the St. Louis area but are in AZ for a vacation.  They came by and we had a nice visit and out to dinner at Chili’s.

Wednesday was cold and rainy.  Jerry and Rick went to the Pinal Co. Air Museum and boneyard.  They were in heaven looking at all the old planes and in the museum.   Finally had to call them at 4 pm and tell them happy hour was at 4:30!  LOL

Tae-Young and I went to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum (thanks, Nancy, for two free passes.)  Decided to do the outside first and lo and behold it started snowing – huge flakes.  Made the cacti even more beautiful.  Then it turned cold – dropped from around 48 to about 36 in an hour, and we had enough snow/cactus photos, so went inside to warm up with a snack and coffee.  Then toured the inside museum.  Had a great time!   Then back to the RV and I cooked a yummy meal of Low Country Shrimp and Grits (thanks to Stormy for teaching me how), huge green salad and fresh aspergras.  Yummy!

Jerrry’s cataract surgery at the VA Friday am was very successful.  Took him back in the pm for a check and Dr. was pleased.  (Back in 1 week for checkup).  Went to grocery store this am, then a bit of “garage saling.”   Friend, Rick, will chauffer us tonight (J isn’t driving at night yet) for Brooklyn Pizza – the best in Tucson,

Haven’t posted any photos lately of our grandkids, so here’s a few I have captured.    Cailey on the left (ready for her dance lesson and found a cute headdress to model) and Abbie on the right (ready to deliver her Nat. Honor Soc. speech on The Titanic and Jessi below.  Unfortunately, I don’t have any new ones of Zach or Sean, nor of the greats:  Guiliana or Myilana.  Will have to rectify that soon!
