AZ

Our trip to AZ was nice.  The drive only halfway killed me.  The preparation, you already know, totally killed me.  We made it in 10 1/2 hours, which was nice.  I am usually semi fine until it has been 8 hours.  So only 2 1/2 hours of not semi fine.

The boys were so excited to see their cousins and had a great time with them, it makes it worth it.  Jonah LOVES his aunt Jamie and her kids.  Bryan, Jonah and I stayed at Bryan’s parents house and Jonah would cry every morning to take him to Jamie’s house.  We spent most of our time at her house anyways.  We joke that Jonah’s leg muscles are going to atrophy from being carried around everywhere by one of his cousins.  They have turtles and a chicken roaming around their backyard, which is unique and fun.

We didn’t do much, just enjoyed the 70 degree weather, did some Christmas shopping and ate and ate and ate.  My 3 days went quickly and soon I was flying home with Jonah baby.  It was HEAVEN to get home in a little more than an hour.  I then worked like crazy for the next 3 days to get everything bought, wrapped and cleaned.  I did enjoy lunch two of the days with friends which was wonderful.

Next Christmas we are NOT going out of town the week before.
