Saturday morning we were up and out the door for an early flight to Tucson. We thought we gave ourselves plenty of time to get checked in and through security (B and I are exceptional packers and even with a little one in tow we each just had a very small rolling bag to check – which in hindsight we should have just carried on). The airport was a madhouse! United had cancelled flights the night before so there were a ton of people there the next morning trying to get on new flights. We checked in, stood in line forever for security, and had to run through the airport to get to our gate. B grabbed Annabelle and sprinted to the gate as they were closing the doors. He explained he had a pregnant wife who doesn’t move as quickly (thanks!) on her way with the stroller so they held the door a minute for me and we barely made the plane. Phew! At least we made it…and Annabelle thought it was hilarious to have her daddy running her through the terminal.

We had a few hours to waste when we got to Tucson so we grabbed lunch at El Churro which claims to be the inventor of the chimichanga and the oldest Mexican restaurant in the U.S. After lunch we walked around downtown Tucson which seemed to be mostly closed for the weekend. It was very warm! Once we decided it was far to hot to be walking around we jumped in the car and took part of the scenic drive through the desert.

We joined Grandpa Bob & Grandma Carole at Collin & Kim’s wedding. Collin is B’s cousin. His dad, Ken, is Carole’s brother. I had only met them once before but everyone was so great at the wedding. The ceremony and reception were both held at an old home in downtown Tucson. It was outdoors which was gorgeous but being 8 months pregnant I think I was a little warmer than most. 🙂 We were all pretty beat from our day of travel so we had to head out before the dancing really got started. Miss Annabelle would have enjoyed showing off her skills.
