Road Trip!


Just wanted to share a few pictures from last week. Blaine & I had requested last week off a while back to go on a cruise. However, when the time finally came, we decided we weren't ready to leave our little guy behind and would rather spend the vacation as a family, so we made a last minute change of plans. We started off our trip by going to Tucson for a few nights. Although it was still pretty hot there, Blaine & I hadn't been back in 5 or 6 years and we were able to get awesome summer rates at the Westin La Paloma resort. The hotel has several pools, a water slide and even a kiddy pool, which was fun for Grayson, as he can't seem to get enough of the water. We visited some of our favorite restaurants (had to hit Beyond Bread twice!), took a day trip and picnic up at Mount Lemon and also went to check out the underground caves at the Colossal Cave Mountain Park. We of course had to visit the U of A campus while we were there and reminisce on the good old days! It looked like all the students were just moving in to there dorms while we were there. I can't believe it's been 11 years since I was doing that same thing! Sure made us feel old! After staying 3 nights, we drove back to Yuma, let Grayson burn up some energy for a few hours, then got back in the car and drove up to Laguna to spend the rest of our vacation at the beach! My brother & Kim met up with us Thursday night, so we all got a great beach day together on Friday. We then headed to SanDiego Saturday afternoon for Kim's sister Deana's wedding, which was a beautiful setting on Coronado island. That wrapped up around 7, so we put Grayson in his PJ's and drove home to Yuma....he was a great little traveler and slept the entire way home....never even woke when we got him out of the car seat and put him in his crib at home!
So now we are busy back at work and planning Grayson's 1st Birthday party. I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by. Hope you enjoy the pictures.


Grayson loves to clap now.
