Feb 16, 2014 Benson, Tom and Sue's



Sunday, February  16

Quiet day.  Tom shared some of their Hawaii pictures – gorgeous flowers and more. Walked the ridge behind their house with Sue and then went to Sierra Vista to see the movie “Monument Men”.  Good cast, so-so movie, though it would be interesting to learn more about the actual events it was based on.

Oh, here's the family photo from yesterday -


Chap and Mam arrived around 4:30 after the final day of the show.  We had some wine and a meal of assorted leftovers from the week.  Watched some of the Olympics.

Monday, February 17

Chap and Mam went to do some shipping while Greg and I did some grocery shopping, emptied tanks, filled water and did some laundry to prepare for leaving tomorrow.  Sue actually enjoys laundry and cleaning - I've invited her for an extended visit!   Discussed routes with Tom and Sue and checked weather forecasts.

Late morning we went to Tucson to pick up a new chair Tom and Sue had ordered from a store called Copenhagen, then met Chap and Mam at Old Tucson.  It is a mock western town where lots of movies and tv shows were filmed (Bonanza, The Virginian, Rio Bravo, Wagon Train, etc.)  We listened to a couple of tours about movies, about old west transportation, and a humorous show about western stunts. 





 Unfortunately, the barber was out!


Aftern Old Tucson, we went to the Casino Del Sol for a little gaming and Chap treated us to their buffet which was very good.  This is inside the casino.



Back to Benson for last night.  Watched a bit of Olympics and called it a night.
