I use the term 'adventure' loosely as this trip was one of the most relaxing/low key we've taken since...ever. At the same time, I consider every trip I take to be an adventure in one way or another.
After countless flights, this one was a bit new for us as we attempted to get Arra installed in her carseat. There were many babies and small children on the plane, all presumably on their way to visit their snowbird grandparents, but Arra was the only one in a car seat. I know it's not common practice and we traveled with her as a lap baby before we really knew better. But know better, do better and not only was she safer, but, wait for it...she actually slept on the flight and Cody and I enjoyed not having 25lbs or squirminess all over us.
Arra safe and happy in her seat.
Donna and Judy were kind enough to invite us to their home away from home for the month. They were staying in a beautiful place on a golf course in Mesa complete with several pools and a golf cart for us to bomb around on. Every day started with a swim, then lazy reading time on the patio while Arra napped. In the afternoons we'd go for outings to the park for a picnic, to the swap meet or to the zoo. Cody and I even got a date night in one evening! This was a much needed getaway for our little family after the upheaval to our routines my return to work has caused.
Cody loved driving the golf cart around!
So much fun swimming every day!
It wasn't too warm while we were there, so we had daily hot tubs too!
Arra liked reading on the patio too.
Date night for Cody and me. <3
Arra's favourite outing of course was a trip to the zoo.
