On our "date day" this week, Roger and I went to Tumacacori National Historical Park. This mission began in the 1700s and is located forty-five miles south of Tucson, Arizona, and eighteen miles north of Nogales, Arizona.

Roger and I went on a spur-of-the-moment day trip to San Xavier Mission in Tucson today. We had a wonderful time . There are renovations going on currently to preserve this beautiful mission. Thankfully, we've been here previously. I did find a picture on Pinterest to share so you can see the mission before the renovations began.
