We stayed four nights in Tucson. It’s where my mom lives and I have so many wonderful cousins and childhood friends. I also got to see my cousin’s new baby a few times.
A friend that I have known since Kindergarten and I reconnected. She now has two kids. Elise loved playing with them. They ran around in their grandparents’ restaurant which is just a few blocks from where we were staying. It’s crazy that we were once babies and now we have literal babies. I still feel like a teen mom sometimes?

My favorite street in Tucson is 4th Avenue. I have some favorite local shops like Pop Cycle, Tucson Vintage, Creations, and Tiny Town. I go every time I visit.
I discovered a store that’s my new favorite, called Sun and Sand. They sell Angie dresses for very cheap.
Since giving birth my size definitely changed. So I was happy to buy many dresses at my new size.

Another place I like to visit is the Aquatic Center. I only went once with Elise this time because it is was so unbearably hot. It felt like we were on the center of the sun and would turn to ash if I stayed any longer. I was worried she had gotten a sunburn. It was only May and the temperature was already in the hundreds. Last winter, I visited twice and got to swim some laps on my own.
I also like going to the outlets near my mom’s house. I love Vermont because there are no outlet malls but I also really enjoy going to the outlets when we visit Tucson. I contain multitudes?
