Tucson in the fall

Tucson, AZ in the fall!  Fall was always my favorite season while living in Tucson for 37 years.  I've been in Colorado now for just over 7 years and fall is infinitely more colorful here, but I still loved Tucson.

We went back to Tucson to celebrate my upcoming first grandbaby.  My daughter Corinne lives in Kansas, her sister, stepsister and I are in Denver, and all the grams are in Tucson as well as most of Corinne's friends and other relatives.

Originally designed as a roadtrip, my mom was kind enough to help out with plane tickets for the four of us so that we didn't have to pile all four of us (including 6 mo pregnant Corinne) into a Prius for a 15.5 hour drive each way.  Blessings;)

We had a great time, visiting Eegee's for the seasonal favorite Italian ice, getting our obligitory Nico's breakfast burrito with chorizo, and finally, lunching at the amazing Mosaic cafe.

I love that we had the shower at my first husband's parents house, and that my second husband and his wife attended with their new baby;)  That's family that's created and generated!

The shower itself was lovely and lively and everyone enjoyed the "Little Golden Books" themed shower.  This baby will have a tremendous book library!  And shoes.  Lots of shoes.
