Whitney flew into Tucson on Thursday afternoon for a long weekend visit. Her requests were small: Mexican food and shopping at Trader Joe’s. We had an early dinner at Victoria Cocina Mexicana on our way home from the airport. We shopped on Friday, with stops at Trader Joe’s Whole Foods, and La Encantada. Claire drove down from Phoenix on Saturday by noon. We went for dinner at North Italia. We were up early on Sunday, to drive Claire and Whitney to the start of the Tucson Half Marathon. We went to the finish line an hour and a half later to watch them finish. It was so much fun for us to see, bringing back memories from 20+ years ago, when they were competing in swimming, cross country, track, and triathlons in Florida. We went out for breakfast at First Watch after the race. They left Tucson soon after 1 pm. Papa and I enjoyed every moment of their visit!
