Chris and I headed to AZ without our sweet lil Linnea who got to stay with her grandparents for 6 days! My parents and Chris's shared her and everyone had a great time! Our main reason for heading to Tucson, AZ was for our friends Aidan and Barbara's wedding but we made it a couple's vacation as well and added a few days before and after the wedding. Our friends Carl and Lori were also able to come without their kiddoes and Chuck and Deanna were able to get away from work and their dogs and join the fun as well. It was so nice to have some time with just our friends and just each other and not worry about naps and bedtimes. We definitely missed Linnea everyday but knew she was in good hands so it was pretty easy to have some fun. The picture above is us on the plane ready to head out on Thursday morning!
Thursday Chris and I were on our own so we checked into our hotel and took their shuttle to 4th Street ( a strip in downtown Tucson with lots of shops and restaurants) and found Lindy's, a hole in the wall beer and burger joint. Apparently Man Vs. Food had been there since they offer a burger challenge :0) We did not try that...Chris had the Hawaiin Five O which was a teriyaki burger with a pineapple...yummy! I went out on a limb and tried a burger with a fried egg on it...not so good but once the egg was off the burger was great!
After dinner we had some time to kill while waiting for the shuttle and found this super cute cafe called the Chocolate Iguana! Look at all the candy above and the cute set up and paint below. If I lived in Tucson I would be a regular here. Their iced pumpkin latte was delicious as was their iguana blend!
We called it a night after that which was fairly early, AZ is 2 hours behind us so it felt like 11 or so when we went to bed. Plus, I was coming down with a terrible cough and Chris wasnt feeling one hundred percent either.
