Back From the Lovely Land of Tucson...

So we've just come back from Tucson. That's right Tucson. Shut up, I know you're jealous. EVERYONE wants to go to Tucson! Well we went because I just HAD to surprise my husband with tickets to The Lord of the Rings Symphony, which was in Tucson this weekend. It's rarely available in the U.S. or anywhere near us, so I got us plane tickets and we went down there for one day. We left Friday morning at 6:30 and were back home by 12:30 Sunday morning. We had a lot of fun in Tucson, though we are pretty darn sure we will NEVER be in that town again. We got there so early that there was nothing to do until we checked in, so we went to the zoo. Which turned out to be pretty cool, actually.
They didn't have a lot of animals, but they had all the cool ones. See the rhinos behind us? Tucson is very brown and ugly--actually a lot like Windhoek, Namibia, where I served part of my mission. It's the second largest town in Phoenix, but it's really not that big. Phoenix is way cooler, but we didn't spend much time there at all. We were amazed how smoothly things went getting places and being where we were supposed to be. It was a nice day, but even though it was a short visit, we were ready to come home. One day in Tucson is truly enough!

Sounds like you guys had fun! I still think that it is funny that Trevor started to cry when you gave him the tickets (sorry Trevor, hope you not embarassed)I remember. I think that I would have to agree with you about Tucson.
