Arizona for the Holidays

AJ and I are spending a bit of time in Arizona soaking up as much sun as possible and enjoying some time with the western branch of the Hidalgo/Rain/Fox family. We're currently staying at the Western Look Resort in Tucson, located in the city's foothills. The resort originated in a 172 acre homestead built around the turn of the 20th century. The resort is a little long in the tooth but has a certain lived in charm. And quail wander across the paths, their tiny feather tiaras bobbing in unison.

Westward Look Resort is also the place where Haddon Sundbloom, a graphic designer and artist who designed such memorable icons as the Gerber baby and Aunt Gemima, crafted the modern image of Santa Claus for Coca Cola.
