Scottsdale


Frank had a business conference at a Scottsdale resort, so of course, I had to tag a long. We left last Wednesday, and got home Saturday. Mark, and his amazing wife, Lorena agreed to come stay at our house with the kids while we were gone, so the kids could finish their last week of school. I had been cleaning the house for two days. Our bags were in the car, and then Frank said the flight was cancelled. Well, I couldn't spend one more minute in the house, so we went to lunch, and then headed to the airport. Since they cancelled our flight, they gave us $14 food vouchers at the airport. In our thrift, we spent $13.76 on cinnamon rolls and smoothies at cinnabon! Yum!

The trip was so relaxing. I forgot what it was like waking up when I want, only getting me ready (and spending as much time as I want), letting someone else serve me three meals a day, napping anytime I want, going to movies at all times of the night, spending as long as I want at the pool (without leaving for potty breaks, and break-downs), shopping without kids and letting valet park the car! It was AWESOME :)

I was so lost in excitement, that I kept forgetting my camera, so here's the few pictures I DID get...



This was Frank watching TV when we first got there. I like to play this little game where I keep taking pictures until he looks at me and smiles. It only took five times to get a smile! It's his favorite game!! I tortured him even more by showing a little PDA for the camera :)



Thanks again to Mark and Meg (Chase decided to change Lorena's name to Meg, since that was easier to say! Those L's, and R's kill him everytime - Wowena)

I maintain that kind of trip needs to happen AT LEAST once a year--maybe more--or you forget who you are and only identify with the Mom title!
