Christmas in the desert

This seems like a lifetime ago...

The day after my terrible Tucson Marathon, we dressed in our matching race shirts and checked out the resort's impressive Christmas display.
Gingerbread house - the whole thing was gingerbread!
Christmas decorations in 70 degrees was strange.

Before heading home, we checked out nearby Saguaro National Park. (Thanks to aunts Kari and Vicki for the annual parks pass!!)


I'm not super excited by desert landscape, but it was fun to read about the cactus and see a different ecosystem. Those saguaro cactus are really cool! 

Natural Grocers was a race sponsor and gave coupons to all participants. So on the way to the airport, we found the specific Tucson store where the coupons were valid and each bought an expensive candy bar with our coupons! 

It was a quick trip full of excitement, disappointment, and exploration. I would have preferred a successful race, but I'm glad we had a nice time.
