Well, we had a plan(I like plans), but we had to throw them out the window when we hit snow and slick roads heading north toward Flagstaff, AZ. We were heading north then east to Petrified National Forest and over to New Mexico. Then we planned on going to Chaco Cultural National Historical Park the following day then down to Albuquerque to see Aunt Joyce. Well, the roads started getting slick heading north on I-17 and we did not think it was safe to keep going, so we turned around and decided we would head south to Tucson. I was disappointed that we would miss both parks, but the good news was we got to go to Saguaro National Park. Kane was begging to see a saguaro. He had only seen them in pictures. Well, his dreams came true right north of Phoenix. We started spotting our first saguaros. Our kids were SO Excited! We made it to Tucson mid afternoon, so the kids and I headed out to Saguaro National Park(west side). It was amazing to see saguaros as far as the eye could see!
We stayed at LazyDays Campground in Tuscon. Guess what the kids could do there? Pick oranges, grapefruit and lemons from the trees! They had a blast picking fruit!!
Scott took the kids swimming in the pool while I did some Christmas shopping, then the kids and I headed to Saguaro National Park(east side).
