On the same day that Bennett turned 1, Nana turned 60!! She and I decided to do something big to celebrate her birthday! Back in February we booked our trip to Scottsdale!
We met at the Austin airport on Sunday afternoon and were ready for vacation!
Checked in, dropped our bags off, and relaxed by the pool before dinner!
Checking out what would pretty much be our view the next 3 days!
After some pizza and a good night's rest, we were ready for our Monday - definitely not a typical Monday like at home!
It started with an hour long breakfast and coffee by the pool. Then we went on a 45 minute walk through the neighborhood by our hotel. After that, we claimed our chairs by the pool and spent the rest of the day there!
All day! :)
That evening we did some shopping and had dinner at one of my favorites - The Greene House!
We went back to our room and watched the season finale of Scandal in preparation for the new one while snacking on snickers and wine!
Tuesday morning was more of the same! A beautiful walk after breakfast by the pool!
Loved the mountains in the background.
And then back to the pool to claim our chairs for the rest of the day!
Our pre-lunch snack! :)
An afternoon treat!
And dinner that night was at La Hacienda, the Mexican food restaurant at our hotel. So good!
My sweet mom and me! She doesn't like 60 at all!
Wednesday morning it was time to pack home to see our boys!
Ahhh don't I look so rested and relaxed?! It's amazing what a few days away can do for you!
Happy birthday Mom! I loved celebrating you! Can't wait to go back again!
Meanwhile back in Houston, the boys had lots of fun with Mimi and Grampy who came into town to help Trent out during the days!
Mimi and Bennett went to music class at church!
Sweet boy!
G walked to and from school with Mimi!
But then he told her he preferred being picked up in the truck! :)
On Monday night he went to the Astros game with Trent and Grampy!
He ate a hot dog, french fries, and lots of ice cream!
I had such a great time in Scottsdale. That time with you was so special. Sharing a birthday with Bennett is very special. Thank you for the great birthday. Let's definitely plan on going back again.
