We traveled to Tucson to visit and celebrate Opa’s 70th birthday.  It was Alex’s first time in Arizona and Tucson.  While we were there we had a great time celebrating Opa’s 70th birthday with a walk, then lunch out at La Parilla Suiza where he got birthday margaritas and flan on the house, pool time with lots of fun splashing, and a dinner party with Christine and Jake.  The kids and I had a fun idea to use different numbers to make 70 since Opa loves science and math.  There were 12 different numbers that added to 70 on Opa’s birthday cake.  The next day we spent a day seeing old friends in the morning and then viewing Christine’s work and taking a tour of the UofA in the afternoon.  We hiked Sabino Canyon with Christine and Jake and Alex really enjoyed to cool mountain water that he jumped right in and had to ride home in a diaper.  That night we went to the UofA home game with Jackie and Derek who drove down from Phoenix to see us.  We hiked Douglas Spring Trail on our last day and bought some La Mesa Tortillas to take home with us, and saw a rainbow after bringing the Virginia rain with us to Tucson.
