Road Trip to Tucson

Shaking it off

His first time in a pool! He didn't like it much, he was scared!

To my excitement, about a month ago we found out that my sister Katie's family is moving to Tucson for a few years (Matt works for Caterpillar and is working there for awhile). I am so excited that I will have family within driving distance.


Katie, Matt, ane Lexie went to look at houses this past weekend, so Adam and I decided to drive there for a day/night to see where they will be living and hang out with the fam. Of course, now that we have Diggy, going out of town isn't so simple because we have to think about who can watch him, but since we could drive to Tucson, we decided to take him with us. I got a pet friendly room, we packed Adam's truck full of Diggy's toys, cage, towel, blanket, food, treats, and pillow and we were on our way in a very packed truck.


We thought it would be about a 5 hour drive but it ended up taking about 6 1/2 hours to get there with stops and all. Diggy was a perfect angel. He was so calm and snuggled/slept most of the ride, but when he saw the scenery, he realized he liked it and wanted to watch. It was so cute, he stood on his hind legs looking out the back window for a really long time! He's a Curious George!


The weather in Tucson was in the 90's so we did lots of pool lounging. We also got to see the model of a house being built that Katie and Matt ended up buying. It's really nice with a very cool/open floor plan. The neighborhood looks so fun! The town pretty much consists of this huge neverending neighborhood with pools/playgrounds every few blocks. In the center is this thing called the Clubhouse next to a man made lake that has a water park, gym, coffee shop, bar, etc. I would love to live somewhere like this when I have kids! It's safe and very walkable but also 10 minutes from Tucson.

As usual, the weekend went way too fast and I could have spent an extra few days in Arizona BUT something tells me that I might be back a time or two in the next few years :)
