Today we headed south to Tucson
To check out Saguaro National Park and Sabino State Park
Because we need to get up close and personal with some cacti.
As you look at these pictures,
If you are are thinking
“Wow, that’s a good picture”
It’s probably taken by Jackson.
He’s really good at this.
We saw prickly pear
Pencil cholla
And, of course, saguaros.
We had a really low bar—
I mean, we were “just” going to hike the desert
And see some cacti,
But we were really impressed.
It was gorgeous.
We did a few hikes
Including Valley View…
Which ended with this crazy valley view
Of SO MANY CACTI!
We paused to take it in.
And maybe a picture too.
We thought this one was a little suggestive…
And needed one more good family picture
Up close and personal.
Then we were off to Sabino—
It came highly recommended from a friend.
And it was COOL!
We took a longer hike here—
About 4 miles up and down through the cacti.
We ran into a couple of roadrunners at lunch!
It was really scenic.
One family picture to mark the occasion
Before we pressed onward
Past the teddy bear cholla
And a few (ok LOT) more saguaros
We had some dinner in Old Town
And then watched the Olympics from the hot tub
And played alllll the games
One last time
What a weekend!
Thanks, Santa!
