Tucson

Jesse's sister, Faye, and her husband, Jon came down to Arizona to visit their son, Jonathan and his wife, Nicole, and their three children, Jessica, 'Becca, and Ryan, in Tucson. Since Tucson is like 10 hours closer to us than Linden, Utah, we decided we'd drive down to visit with them. The whole bunch of us went to San Xavier del Bac Mission, aka the "White Dove of the Desert." This is a 200+ year old church, just south of Tucson, and is beautiful! I've been there several times; Jesse had only been there once, and he wanted Faye to see it.




Afterwards, we drove further south to Tubac, Arizona, to see an even older mission, San Jose de Tumacacori.



While there, we had a great chance to visit and catch up. We even tried prickly pear candy!
