It had been awhile since the kids and I had been to Tucson, and daddy hadn't been there since December of last year, so it was time to take a weekend trip. Sister stayed with a girlfriend, Logan stayed at a friends house and Sagan spent Saturday with his friend. So on Saturday Mike, the little boys and I went to the Tucson zoo (http://www.tucsonzoo.org/). Rowan hasn't been there since he was about 17 months old so seeing the animals again for real was such a neat thing for him. He looked totally stunned at seeing an elephant for real. They are sooo big!
We also ate at Rosa's (the best darn Mexican food in Tucson... IMHO) and paid a visit to our favorite Bookman's (on Grant). Then off to the hotel for the night. For some reason I think this was the best part of the trip for Caelan. I picked Sagan up that night from his friend's house and he joined us at the hotel for the night.
After our free breakfast we set off for Sunday Farmer's market (http://farmersmarkettucson.com/the-markets/sunday-st-philips) so I could pick up a few bags of "Jack and the Bean Soup" because it is just too yummy, and since the weather is finally cooling down to the 80's we have to have crockpottable soup available! After the Farmer's Market we set off to one of my favorite spots in all the world "DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun" not only is it free to the public (which is totally amazing) but it is just amazingly lovely, and so peaceful and soul filling. I swear the best chapel in all the world is right there on his property. That is the way church should be, if you have to do it in any building at all.

All in all it was a lovely weekend.
