Sonoita and Elgin are know for their many wineries.
It was a beautiful drive southeast of Green Valley.
Our first stop was Charron Vineyards & Winery which
has a great deck overlooking the vineyards and mountains.
A nice relaxing time with friends.
Can you imagine how beautiful this will look in the spring?
Just 30 minutes away you can see the different vegetation
and
the absence of Saguaro as we climbed
in elevation through the rolling hills.
We encountered several Pronghorn antelope
grazing in the grassland.
Something unusual at our second stop in the Village-of-Elgin
was the peacock roaming around.
At our last stop we met the winemaker at Sonoita Vineyards.
She has lots of history to share because her Grandfather started the winery.
Everyone had a fun time.
Another day we went to the Pima Air & Space Museum in
Tucson. It is the third largest air and space museum in the world.
There are six indoor hangers and acres of planes.
390th Memorial Museum is
home of the B-17 Flying Fortress.
home of the B-17 Flying Fortress.
Plan to spend all day because it will take you
hours to see everything or purchase the two-day pass.

Doug, who is a neighbor, was our docent on the Boneyard Tour.
As a pilot, his love of airplanes is evident and he is extremely
knowledgeable about the many different kinds of aircrafts.
Speaking of flight, we have Hummingbirds
just two days after putting up our
feeder!
"The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our
ancestors who... looked enviously on the birds soaring freely
through space... on the infinite highway of the air."
Wilber Wright
