Tucson

This past Friday, we headed to Tucson to visit my brother and sister-in-law.  We decided to take Roxy, since they have two dogs, (both Maltese), but half the size of Roxy!!  This was the longest trip we've taken her and she did pretty good.  She kept going back and forth from my lap to Tom's lap.





She finally rested...





After  three stops and 7 hour later, we arrived at Brian's.  The whole weekend was warm, clear blue skies and sunny, a bit windy, but it was perfect to hang out in his back yard by the new pool and stone landscape.  It was total relaxation!!

This is Brian & Leah's new bar!!!



They have ever kind of Tequila you can imagine!!!


Sunday night, Brian did his famous BBQ...chicken & ribs (no comment)


Really good!!!  You can taste the hickory!!!



Okay, it passed the test...





There's corn, of course...



Cheesy potatoes!!!   Two pans!!!



Grilled asparagus...



The next day (Monday) we drove to Tubac, which is a touristy, artsy, shopping area.  It was about an hour south of Tucson, almost in Mexico.  It was fun, but our shopping experience was cut short because of two restless boys, I mean, men, who really didn't want to be there and wanted to get something to eat!!!






Remember, this is an artsy place.  What's with that????




Okay, after going into three stores, we asked the merchants where the best place to eat.  They both said to go to Wisdom's, which is a Mexican restaurant.  Of course!!!  So we drove another 3 to 5 miles south, now we are really close to the border...and went to Wisdom's.  They are known for their Margarita's, which are suppose to knock you socks off.  Well, we weren't wearing any socks, so we really couldn't prove that.  They were pretty good, but maybe not as good as Tom's.










Besides their Margaritas, they are know for their fruit burrito.  We had to get one.  This was a peach one, wrapped in a tortilla, deep fried and coated with cinnamon and sugar and topped with ice cream.   Yea, it was good and we were all stuffed!!!!! 


I don't know what to say...


We had a great time!   Thanks Brian & Leah!!!  We love you guys!!!!
