We spent 3 days at the resort near my mom's home and celebrated Christmas. Beautiful weather! Palm trees! swimming pools! Good food and fun! The weird thing about the town I lived from the ages of 10-18 is that no matter the weather or circumstance, I always feel like I am wearing an invisible suit made of itchy wool. I am never comfortable. I try. But I do not like it there. I don't have any rational reason. I just know I am always uncomfortable so it doesn't feel like a vacation.
I am always grateful that I have extended family with whom we can spend the holidays. At least they are not in Michigan.

I took zero pictures of my family celebrating Christmas. Otherwise, I'd post them here.
We then visited Tucson. My mom came and she always adds to the fun. We visited the Pima Air Museum where an homage to the Vietnam War prompted me to explain to my kids that the US lost the Vietnam War. At 22, I told someone I wanted to visit South Vietnam, and they had to explain to me that the war was not a tie. That was embarrassing.
We also visited the amazing Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.. very worth the visit. We ate at El Charro, the oldest Mexican restaurant in the country (100 years). Excellent food! I was very impressed. The highlight of the trip for me was a hike through Sabino Canyon with the kids. Sadly, the federal government is closed as it's run by an imbecile but volunteers staffed the visitor center and everyone thanked them.
