Scottsdale

This year, Mike's work trip was in Scottsdale, AZ. We stayed at the Four Seasons at Troon North.

We did a few hikes, including Pinnacle Peak and Cave Creek Park. The weather was perfect--not too hot and not too cold.

It is always fun getting away, just the two of us. It's not something we would do on our own. It gave us a chance to catch up with each other.

The resort was beautiful--cactus everywhere. We did a lot of eating and relaxing. I haven't slept that much since our trip last year. We also got caught up on our Blue Collar Comedy--CMT was having some sort of marathon. (Nothing like staying at the Four Seasons and laughing at fart jokes.)

It was a great trip, but it is always nice to come home. It is getting easier. as the kids get older, to leave them, but we really do miss them. We could not have done it without our parents. Claudia came to the house and stayed with the kids, then my parents took them to their house for the weekend.
