Snowbird Journal-Dec 31--New Years Visit





Our first official visitors arrived on the 28th.  It was J & K from Colorado who we met when visiting Cousin John this August.  They are such a fun couple and always ready for a new adventure.  On the first day we started with  San Xavier del Bac, the beautiful Spanish mission just outside Tucson.  Then on to Tubac which is an artist colony.  And then to The Spice Factory at Tumacacori.  The second day J and I went to the airbase and took pictures of the aircraft in the "boneyard".  After that we headed for the Pima Air Museum.  J grew up as an Air Force kid and could name almost every aircraft in the collection.  In the PM J & K explored downtown Tucson.
The following day we loaded up early and headed for The Empire Ranch, Sonoita, and Patagonia.
We found Cousin John's favorite AZ Mexican restaurant in Patagonia and had a wonderful lunch.
And for once we had a waitress that wasn't a total ditz.  We were all tired so we didn't get together on New Years Eve.  The RV park did offer a byob, live entertainment party.  You know you're a part of "the senior crowd" when the New Years Eve party goes from 7 PM to 10 PM.

Happy New Year to you all. We spoke to K last night and it sounds like they had a wonderful time. Hopefully it won't be too long before the rest of The Circle can visit.

Guitar and I are going to check on our rigs this afternoon.....just to scratch the itch a little!
