Trip to Arizona: Tubac and Tumacacori


Today we headed south of Tucson toward the Mexican border to visit Tumacacori National Historic Park and Tubac.  Tumacacori was Ethan's first-ever visit to a church, and even though it is a Spanish-style mission ruin, it is very impressive.  Ethan even went inside his first ever Ki, a traditional Pima Indian dwelling, and it was amazing how much cooler it was inside the mud walls compared to outside -- at least 10-15 degrees cooler!

This is what the nice and cool Ki looked like. 



After exploring the mission and grounds, we were about to head up to Tubac to look at some art when we realized that my diaper bag was out of diapers (uh oh!).  We were pretty much in the middle of nowhere, with the closest real grocery store or drugstore over 10 miles away in Rio Rico.  So we decided to take a chance and see if the small "gourmet and specialty" grocery in Tucac would have a small pack of diapers.  Well, we were lucky because they did (and it worked out for us because we knew we'd need to buy some more diapers to get through the trip anyway).  So Ethan is now in Size 3 diapers. :)

Once we got Ethan changed, we headed into the shops at Tubac.  It is always so much fun to look at the beautiful and creative things for sale there!

After we got back to Tucson, we headed to Anne and Steffan's house for drinks, snacks, and lots of catching up (somehow, we ended up not taking any photos though, sorry!).  It was a fun day!
