Romero Pools with Mackenzie and Matt

Mackenzie and Matt flew into Tucson today just after noon. We picked them up at the airport and drove them to Catalina State Park northeast of Tucson, where we went on a 5 ½ mile hike up to Romero Pools. It was a wonderful hike with beautiful scenery, sun and warmth (79 degrees) and it was great to reconnect with the “kids” who really enjoyed the transition from Seattle’s 35 degree temperatures. Mackenzie fell in love with the scenery and warmth and threatened to build a house on the granite shore adjacent to the pools, however we pointed out there is no nearby Bank of America branch, so perhaps it was not a good plan. We returned to Hobie's about 6:30pm for a great steak, potato and salad dinner washed down with Hornito’s tequila and red wine. We all loved it. While all of us have inundated Hobie’s home, he is sleeping at night in his Westie camper, we are sleeping in the Chalet, and the “kids” have Hobie’s double bed in the bedroom – ha! What a wonderful visit!!!
