Monday night!

Meet Me at Maynards (MMM) is the coolest thing happening in Tucson (or perhaps even the nation?) on Monday nights. :)

"The mission of Meet Me at Maynards is to bring active adults and families to the downtown Tucson area to enjoy healthy exercise, to experience the beauty, history and architecture of our unique neighborhoods, and to appreciate and patronize local businesses."

Every Monday night about 400-600 folks gather downtown to walk/run. There are 3 loops to choose from: 2 miles, 3 miles, and 4 miles. We walk by cute old homes, the art museum, la placita, the children's museum, etc...it's really quite lovely.

Most of the restaurants downtown offer a 20% discount to MMM'ers on Monday nights. Ezra usually wants to go home and get some shut eye by the time we are done walking, but perhaps someday soon we'll be able to have a late night dinner downtown after our walk.

Our regular crew (more are always welcome to join us!!...just let me know if you are interested)...

Ezra is still wearing OUR HAT!!! Our Ezra just grew out of the matching socks. Boo. I knit him a new pair and he put them on for the first time this morning... Is your Ez's head getting too big for that hat? Does he require a new one?! ;)
