I must admit, last week was pretty rough on me. I did something new and different at work. It's always nice to do something new, but by 6:00pm last Friday, I was definitely ready for the weekend. The good news, someone was thinking of me!
I received a call from a friend asking if the fam would like to join her fam, and another school fam, at the Westin up in Scottsdale. I was tired, but after talking it over with Rod, we decided that we'd make the trip up there and let the kids swim while the adults had some good 'ol adult time. It was fantastic!
There was so much to do for the kids! Yes, there was a pool, and a lazy river, and camp fires, and they even put up a screen for a movie between 2 palm trees for an outdoor movie that you could watch while lazily floating in the pool. The movie on Friday was The Spiderwick Chronicles. All this and the kids decided it was going to be more fun to play elevator tag. Oh, well.
The adults had it pretty good. We had drinks and dinner inside, looking out over what I must admit was a beautiful golf course. There was a band playing great music. And of course, the conversation was pretty fantastic. A huge thanks to my friends Mags who convinced us to stay. We stayed the whole weekend! Other than the fact that it was roughly 111 degrees outside, you would never know that we were so close to home.
The bad is news is this.... My family needs, needs, NEEDS to remember to use sunblock! I am the only one who didn't get what looks like 2nd degree sunburn. Hopefully they'll remember that the next time they decide to spend hours upon hours out in the sun (which will be this weekend).
I hope you all had as glorious a weekend as we did!
