Steve pal, thanks for the kind offer, we will definitely take you up on it the next time we come again. In fact, I looked at some of the old threads about Tucson on paceline before we got here and took into account a few of your suggestions, so thank you!
It's funny you mentioned the mural scene. On the first day when we arrived at Tucson, my 15-yr-old Lizzy pointed to some kind of pattern on a bridge in the highway and she said, "Tucson is more artistic and interesting than Austin..." and her older brother chimed in and said, "Yeah, and all we got in Texas is everything with a star."
We parked our car somewhere near El Charro Café and walked over to the Presidio area, on our way there we saw a couple of interesting murals.
We went inside the main library to use the restroom and happened upon the artwork done by the high school students in Tucson on display on the walls and my kids spent a fair bit of time walking around and admiring the work of their peers.
My girls were attracted to some beautiful pieces in the gift shop at the desert museum.
Tucson has certainly included a component of A-R-T into our trip.
