We’re on the way home. We had a quick visit with my daughter and son-in-law. Now about to hop a plane back to Iowa. We didn’t go to the Pima County Air & Space Museum this time, but we drove past a couple of times. The Philippine Mars is rebuilt and sits in about the middle of the lot. She is BEAUTIFUL! Next time here I want to go back to the museum. Also, the armor museum is now open, so I’ll want to see that while I’m there.
