Snow in Tucson??

Here is what we woke up to this morning.  We thought we were back in Breckenridge.
They had to wait until the snow melted to finish the Accenture Tournament won by Luke Donald. Maggie and Roy Hoff said they have not seen snow in Tucson for the ten years they have lived here

Playing with Patrick and Frances

Patrick and Frances McWilliams joined us for a week to play golf and attend the Accenture Match Play Tournament held down the street at the Ritz Carlton course.  They are as fanatic about golf as we are.

Frances and Patrick, thank you for hanging out with us.

Visit to Boulder

We have been busy lately with lots of fun activities.  Sue got to visit Kelan and Beckett over a long weekend.  It is a quick and cheap flight to Boulder from Tucson, so she intends to visit often!!

Kelan is in to being two!!!  He does the opposite of everything you ask, and kept Sue on the run.

He talks a lot now and knows the alphabet.  He will start nursery school in September.

What a cutie!!  He skipped walking and went right to running!!

Very spiffy dresser!!

Sue got to hang out with nanny Shauna to check out her techniques for managing two.  She is just great with them.  Kit thanked her for taking care of all three of us.  

Tubac Arts Festival

We have been taking field trips every Saturday so that we slowly get to know this area.  There is a huge gem show going on right now, but we chose to head further south to the Tubac arts festival.  So much color!!

Bob's favorite part was the food court.

Here he is back at the food court.

He only had to stay a little while at the Husband Drop Off.

Saturday Field Trip

This is kind of mean for all you folks buried in snow, but here is what we did yesterday.  

Visited Ventana Resort near Sabino Canyon

A giant mesquite tree at the resort

Visited Tohono Chul Park, a Botanical garden down the road

a forest of jumping cholla

Bob can really do something other than ski

Trip to Washington

While Bob sat in meetings with people from the Dept of Education, I toured the city.  Here are some shots of the National Gallery, the Capitol while the health care debates were continuing, and the White House when the President of China was arriving.  It was cold and bitter there but exciting to see.

The East Wing of the National Gallery

The roof of the East Wing

This was as close as I could get to all the festivities

Cool Cacti in Catalina State Park

Here are some shots of our recent hike in Catalina State Park.  The Saguaro are so funny.
