A & J - Arizona Time

Joe had to go to Scottsdale for training, so we added a day and Angie tagged along. It was a blast! On our extra day, we drove up to Sedona (would have gone to the Grand Canyon, but 7 months preggo isn't the best time for a 4 hour drive after a 4 hour flight). Sedona was amazing and the red rocks were everywhere. We stopped at the info center and picked up a map of all the hot spots...including a little local place for lunch.

(This is the fun picture you get when you ask a stranger to take a photo and turns out he went to Catholic High in Pcola.)

(A & P - 30 weeks and 3 days)

(Chapel of Holy Cross - Red Rock - Sedona, AZ)

(We enjoy cactus fries with prickle pear juice in Sedona, AZ.)

Getting a Sprinkles cupcake for the trip home!

(Joe LOVED the Peanut Butter Cup from Sprinkles.)

For the next few days, Joe was in class all day and Angie enjoyed poolside and shopping time.

(Okay, I did not buy this, but if I won the lotto...which I don't play...this would be the ridiculous purchase I would make for myself - A Maserati!)

It was the best vacation we've had together...since most (if not all) of our previous vacations wrapped around seeing family (no offense to family time). We'll definitely take advantage of more opportunities like this with Peanut.

We LOVED Scottsdale and wouldn't hesitate to move there - only draw back being beach and friends. It's definitely a hot spot for retirement with all the sidewalks (Angie loved them!), the arts/culture, sports and mountain trails.
