COVID VACCINE TO CACTUS FOREST

The minute we got our COVID vaccine second doses,

 

we drove two days to Saguaro National Park in Tucson. We hadn’t been anywhere in a year, not even to a restaurant or grocery store!

We were overjoyed that our vaccinated son, Philip, and his lovely girlfriend, Annabelle, joined us for a few days at our Airbnb with a view of the Rincon Mountains.

Hiking the Cactus Forest Trail, we saw the
