San Xavier Mission and Tubac

On Memorial Day we decided to do some tourist activities and go check out the San Xavier Mission. It is only 30 minutes from our house. The mission is over 250 years old. It is pretty neat to think that some of the settlements around Arizona are older than the United States.

San Xavier Mission. It is going through some renovations so you can see some color variations from the left to the right of the building.

Inside the church. It is quite small but is facinating to see. They are renovating the paints inside too.


The dome...it was so pretty!

Tubac:
After we left the mission we drove out to Tubac. Tubac was established in 1752 as a Spanish presidio (fort). There is a historic state park and and a lot of fun shops! Brian didn't over love it but Sara and I enjoyed looking around! We all refrained from buying things! Good job us!!

All in all we had a great weekend. The last night in town we went to Bluepoint at La Encantada. Gavin (Brian's cousin/Sara's nephew) and his girlfriend, Veronica, met us for dinner on the patio! We all had great seafood and even better company!
