HELLO TUCSON!
We've been here 5 minutes, time to go check out the pool!
After pool we enjoyed Happy Hour and a beautiful view...

Then we went to dinner where they had this awesome shuffleboard table!
Good morning, Tucson!
Let's go get a lay of the land...
But first, let me say hello to the pool!
Wait for me, Daddy!
We went for a hike on the big cactus mountain!
I saw the biggest cactuses I've ever seen in my whole life!
Cactuses Rock!
We hiked in a long way from the hotel.
Stay hydrated, Daddy!

The next morning we saw the most beautiful sunrise! This is the benefit of being on "east coast time"......
Daddy I need coffee.....
