On a whim, Mike requested that since we were so close, we visit Meteor Crater (not exactly) on our way down to Tucson.
We took the tour.

Then we resumed our route down through Sedona area.
I had high expectations for this area. But in reality, we were tired after three days of activity, it was crowded, and we were living out of the car, and still had hooours to drive.
We did enjoy a little time at this state park- the name speaks for itself. :)
Downtown Sedona seemed like a beautiful place to take a couples trip.
Finally, late that night, we made it down to Tucson to our friends' new home!
Peter and Ben shared an air mattress and have never slept better! :)
One the first day with them, we visited Pima. Mike & Matt were thrilled.
The girls were just happy to be together.
Ben & Quinn were happy to be reunited!
On day 2 with them, we headed to Saguaro National Park. This was probably my favorite day! How cool (i mean, hot) to see these cacti in real life (IRL!).
I can't wear this hat like Kristin!
It was just a joy to see these friends and especially to see the kids together again.
After living next door to each other for nearly 3 years, they function more like cousins than friends.
The JOY was palpable.
We were treated to so many shows and performances. 💓
No one wanted the night to end. We lingered outside late into the evening.
The next morning was off to school for the girls and off to CA for us!
