Birthday Trip to Tucson

Birthday Trip to Tucson

Birthday trip to Tucson was a beautiful adventure of food, forest, desert, and culture. It was a far away experience and journey.

Birthday Trip To Mount Lemmon

This birthday journey is in the beautiful ” sky island.” This mountain brings life, water, and history to not just Tuscon but New Mexico and Mexico. You begin your journey in the Sonoran Desert to end in the mixed conifer forest.

This mountain is named after botanist Sara Plummer Lemmon. Her and her husband spent years identifying plants after spending their honeymoon on the mountain.

The 1 hour drive takes you over 7 life zones including Alpine Tundra zone (there is no access to this zone). The hour takes you from Mexico to Canada in life zones. There is a great app you can download that covers each zone from the University of Arizona.

When you get to the top there is a fun town Summerhaven with a restaurant and a general store with fresh fudge and the famous Cookie Cabin. The drive down is just as impressive and beautiful.

Mission San Xavier del Bac

Tucson Mission San Xavier del Bac

This mission is apart of the wonderful history in Tucson. The missions are a big part of the culture and religion in the Southwest. This is the most photographed mission in the state

Mission San Xavier del Bac, a historic Spanish Catholic mission, is 10 miles south of downtown. This mission on the Tohono O’odham Nation San Xavier Indian Reservation. This location began with Franciscan missionary Fr. Juan Bautista Velderrain beginning in 1783. This mission has been apart of the New Spain, Mexico, and the United States since construction began.

The mission presents shells as a symbol of pilgrimage. The Baroque architecture is traditional with marbling, faux doors, and other details. The mission represents the struggles that have been with the Southwest, living in harsh conditions, the changes in governments, fire, and earthquake.

Casa Grande Ruins

Taking Route 87 off I-10 going 19 miles east on AZ 87 you come across the community built by Salado Indians around 1300-1350 AD. This area settled as early as 300 CE. There is no know purpose for largest prehistoric structures in America.

This community built complex irrigation, farming, and trade for survival. There is no written history left behind. The framing and food included mesquite pods, squash , prickly pear fruit, corn roasted or eaten raw, fish and other animals, saguaro fruits from the tops of the cati, and fowl.

The large building in the center of the community is for religious ceremonies with ceremonial wine. There are gravesites discovered inside the center. There are what appears to be ball courts for Aztec played similar all courts they are located in Wupatki a site near Flagstaff as well.

The community was no longer used after  1450. This community survived looting, huntin, vandalizing, and left for destruction. Therefore 1892, President Benjamin Harrison set aside one square mile of Arizona Territory surrounding the Casa Grande Ruins. This is the first prehistoric and cultural reserve established in the United States.

Domes of Casa Grande

Casa Grande Domes

This is fun spot to stop and see from your car. It is a no trespassing area that is very unsafe especially for young children. This location was the hopes and dreams of many that never came true. This location was for manufacturing of computers but was never completed. There is an eerie feeling here. You can hear the walls speak as if there was life there but really the life has been one of decay and destruction.

Birthday Food Stops

Fudge Shop

Getting to the top of Mount Lemmon is a great little spot to shop, eat, and get a little sweet treat. This general store has some great snacks, a few souvenirs, and fresh fudge. The tradition of a sweet shop on your adventures that are so fun and memorable. Therefore it is a great birthday treat for the journey back down the mountain.

YardHouse

Birthday dinner was enjoyed at the Yard House in Tucson. This was an exception meal. The Black Orchid cocktail was as delicious as it was beautiful. They have a great happy hour menu with half off appetizers and drink specials. Enjoyed Poke Nachos a great fusion dish and fried calamari. They have a beautiful dessert for birthday celebrations. The one downside to this location is solo diners are moved on the seating list and the waitress was not to attentive. The manager ensured the dining experience was exceptional.

74th Emmys Moments

Abbott Elementary took home 5 Emmys although they used the money from nomination marketing to buy school supplies for educator’s classroom. Sheryl Lee Ralph captures the audience by singing, “I am an endangered species, but I sing no victim’s song.  I am a woman.  I am an artist.  And I know where my voice belongs.” (Endangered Species’ song by Dianne Reeves) It is the best speech of the night. 

Geena Davis receives the Governors Award. In the press room she states, “You know, tonight’s about honoring the best of television. And as you know, as Lizzo knows, television can often directly impact how people see themselves and judge their value in the world.”October Davis’ Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media is holding #girlsneedstem.

Lizzo finally has her childhood dream come true. She makes many dreams come true with her dream of, “When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media, someone fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me.” She continues discussing her “big girls,” “They’re not that unique. They just don’t get the platform.  Telling stories, let’s just tell more stories.”

Thank you was the statement of the night. Sheryl Lee Ralph, “thank you.  Thank you. Thank you.” Lizzo states, “thank you to the Emmys and the Emmys voters, first of all. Geena Davis in the press room states, “thank you all for your support.” Above all it is gratitude we all have after being home with a pandemic. As Kenan Thompson states, “TV is all we have, from Netflix and chill, to Paramount+ and eating dinner alone. The greatest invention in the history of mankind.”

TADASHI SHOJI 4Chion Lifestyle NYFW Spring Summer

SHEATH DRESS WITH ONE SHOULDER CAPE SLEEVE

Inspiration Tadashi Shoji

The refreshing bright collection brings the rush of fashion seasons coming back and style key focus as we return to life. Spring is in the air as each piece walks the runway.

Shoji describes the collection, “as a true celebration in flight, inspired by the power of peace, grace, and hope. Because when doves fly, peace is within reach, and hope is infinite.”

All the Details

Shoji presents a collection of wind-blown shapes and streamlined silhouettes brimming with colorful optimism. Pieces include an ombré-hued gown crafted from bias-cut strips of crinkle chiffon, a black flared midi dress with allover appliquéd painterly flowers, and a mystic blue asymmetric gown with style lines abstracted from a dove’s in-flight silhouette. The crinkle chiffon creates beautiful texture and movement.
