Castles, coasters, n Tucson.

Well today was a pretty relaxing day (compared to yesterday). We got up at 8:30, headed for breakfast at the hotel then out to the pool. Hot tub first then I got the courage to jump in the pool but didn't last that long actually in the pool. It was pretty warm outside though like 25 at least.  The water was probably like 19-20.



Off to castles n coasters which was across the interstate from our hotel for some mini golf.  Although we ahead a bit of a drive because Adam missed the entrance, because I figured we could manage to drive there without using the gps, I guess I was wrong  (and too busy taking photos instead of telling Adam where to turn).

Castles n coasters was a very neat mini golf course.  We paid, got our balls and clubs and then asked the lady where to go.  "Down the stairs and then choose which course you want"... Adam and  I look at each other.... Choose a course.... Yes this place had 4 different courses all intertwined together.  It was so cool, but the temperature was so warm.  Adam and I were both sweating after the 18 holes (which Lola beat AA by 9 strokes).


We choose course #4.
Not his best golf game....

After mini golf we went to Denny's for lunch.  Big spenders... A whole $13 dollars for lunch.  I had a burger (with now bun) and AA had a turkey sandwich and chicken noodle soup!

Then headed to Tucson.  The drive was pretty uneventful, but as we were leaving Pheniox, it was pretty neat that the interstate is right by the airport and as we drove by a plane flew right over top of us.
That isn't zoomed in.

Also on the way we passed the turn off to Coolidge AZ. We have already been there so just kept driving.

We arrived in Tucson to go directly to Jos A Banks to fit AA for his tuxedo.  Good thing the guy was quick there. The pants were about 2" too short, but he rehemmed them before we left.

Arrived at the bride and grooms house (where we are staying), to begin the wedding festivities.  Just a casual supper with friends and family of Katie and Jason's.  The fellow Canadians were happy to visit with us.  I met Katie's parents(both Canandian, but have lived in Tucson for a long time) Dave and Sandra, for the first time (but seemed to know all about me as they have had many visits and casual conversations with Arizona Adam in the past.) Sandra's sister and husband, Mike and Barb (from Toronto) and their daughter who just moved to Denver 4 months ago.  They all had a lot to talk about with us.

Also we met some of the wedding party and their children (people from Tucson) as well as Jason's parents (who live in Michigan).

It was a good get together and AA even did the dishes.  Night ended with some movie watching with Jason and Katie after everyone left and now time for bed.

We don't have real definite plans for tomorrow so we will see what it brings.

Night, Lola
