After a busy week in Baltimore, Maryland and the CWLA conference, we packed up and headed west. Before returning to Hawaii, we would make a stop in Tucson to spend time with Mon, Dave, and Makana. Sorry Johnny, we're making our rounds, but Louisville was a bit too out of the way.
Last summer when we were here, it was pretty hectic as Mon & Dave were getting ready to go to the Marshall Islands to adopt Makana. This year, we've been blessed to be able to enjoy her. We went to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum last week where Jeff spotted a BIG lizard hanging out on the rocks. We also saw a lot of cool animals and lots of different varieties of cactus.
Yesterday, we went to Apple Annie's Orchard and got to pick apples and Asian pears. The trees aren't sprayed with any chemicals, so you can eat the fruit you pick off the tree. Just be sure to have a shirt or pants to wipe the dirt off first. It doesn't get any better, or fresher, than that. After that, we drove to the other part that has pumpkins and vegetables. We walked out into the fields where Makana picked out a pumpkin, and I picked a variety of tomatoes, bell peppers, and chili peppers.
And if you're wondering if there's any great shopping here, there is! We've visited the BX, Michael's, and Tucson Mall.
