My trip to Tucson!

so, it's almost valentine's day, and I went to Arizona for the biggest gem and jewelry show in the world! It was pretty wild, and especially great because I went with my dad (a jeweler) and we stayed with my uncle in Arizona (a jeweler) and visited my cousins' studios (jewelers) and gossiped about jewelry and jewelers the whole time. It was a blast. Here are some pics!
