Phoenix

As stated in the Let it Snow post, we went to Phoenix to warm our extremities. We had a great time and it was hard to come back. Dave and Bev at The Bear Pause went all out and hosted us in 5-star style. Here are some of the highlights of our trip.

The kids wanted to start their days and end their days in the pool. Addy, in particular, spent most of her waking hours in the water.

the shop had a lot of bling

my bling...

Dave had a senior's softball tournament while we were there. You would never know these guys are retired; they took the game pretty seriously. None so seriously as Dave, though. He plays to win and his expressions show it.

It's a whole different kind of beauty down there


and the sad part is that we did go visit my Grandma and Bill while we were down there, but I forgot my camera that day...memories will have to suffice.
