Hope you find today to be a great start to your week. Today started off a bit rough for us, but oh so worth it. We took a road trip this weekend to Tucson to visit some dear friends of ours. Some quality time with them was long overdue, and this weekend served up the perfect opportunity.
While the weekend mostly consisted of catching up, great conversation and fellowship we did sneak in a couple of extra curricular activities.
On the way out we drove through Hatch, NM, which is home to a restaurant on the Green Chile Cheeseburger trail called Sparky's BBQ. SO delicious! We got the recommendation from my sister-in-law and our taste-buds were quite grateful. We both got a "World Famous" and they were amazing. Perfect split of savory and spicy and the french fries to go along with it were pretty phenomenal as well. The atmosphere also completely makes the restaurant. It's a mix of quarky and diner with a New Mexican flare. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend a stop-in. Heck, a drive just to try it out is also worth it. While there, we were also eyeing their brownies-that will be happening sometime in the future!
In Tucson our friends took us to a breakfast spot that was on-point, called First Watch. It was farm fresh food with an elegant farm to table style atmosphere as well and both the food and service were amazing! I enjoyed a hash of sorts that was divine, and the hubby enjoyed french [ciabatta] toast with Nutella, strawberries and hazelnuts. It got rave reviews, and the rest of us basically drooled once we saw it. It may have also been referred to as cake from one of the little one's with us. I think he was on to something! In hindsight, I wish I would have grabbed a photo, but you'll just have to trust me on this one.
On the last day of our visit we went to the Pima Air & Space Museum. I was so impressed with all of the aircraft's. You definitely want to be able to devote some time here. In fact, multiple trips are probably in order. The space is absolutely huge. They have four hangers full of aircraft's and then have an outside courtyard of about 310 aircraft's I believe. Each of the volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable of the planes and excited to share with you their stories and answer any questions you may have.
The boy's were pretty much enamored. I think they were just as excited as the little one with us. We [they] could have spent all day looking at them if we could [let them], but our stomach's were telling us we were hungry. We ended up eating at the restaurant they had at the museum, and were all quite pleased with the quality of their food. With full stomach's and time ticking away, we decided it was time to head back so we could hit the road back home. On the way out we decided, we'd definitely be coming back to the museum at some point!
I'm always saying "okie dokie" so thought this was pretty cool. It's just missing its "dokie."
Saw this cactus on the way out and thought it was pretty unique.
That pretty much rounded out our trip! Too short, but well worth the drive. Thanks friends for putting up with us! We absolutely loved our time together and are already looking forward to next time!
