anniversary trip to Tucson

We drove to Loew's Ventana Canyon Resort yesterday (Sunday) and had a lovely dinner at an Italian restaurant, Vero Amare  which we haven't been to before. Here are a few shots of the resort and its grounds.

 

This morning we decided to drive up to Mt. Lemmon. It was a scenic drive and we stopped to take some pictures on the way up.

 Mount Lemmon is at 7700 feet above sea level and it was 64 degrees when we got there. It looked like a monsoon storm was heading in that direction. 

The real reason we came to Tucson was to see our friends Rob and Harriette.  45 years ago I was a bridesmaid in their wedding in July 1968. Three weeks later Rob was Mel's best man at our wedding August 10th 1968. Rob and Harriette live in Washington state.  They often visit Arizona because Rob's brother lives here.  We had dinner with them tonight at one of our favorite restaurants to celebrate 45 years of marriage and friendship.
