Vacation Pics

Wanted to add a few more pics of our vacation to Scottsdale. We ended up having a really great time, and laughed alot about how life has changed for us. Our days were spent tag teaming who stayed in with the baby while the other went to the gym and/ sat outside in the sun/ took a trip down the lazy river. In the afternoons, we could all hang out on the balcony and read, relax, listen to music etc, as it was shaded. Every night we hit the complimentary happy hour for mommys 2 glasses of chard and daddys 2 pints of beer. Zack was a pro at hanging out in his stroller for that hour and a half while we watched the sunset and listened to the bag-piper....I think that was my favorite time of day. The resort is beautiful at night and the weather is really nice once the sun sets. We can't wait to go back when Zack is 4 so he can go play in the kids club. The kids appeared to be having a GREAT time, playing in the water park, waterballoon contests, egg tossing contests etc.
Zack slept in the Westin supplied crib, not quite the Heavenly Bed that Mom and Dad slept in, but comfy enough to do the trick...I don't want to jinx it, but he did very well and we are looking forward to his first night in the crib tonight...wish us luck!
Oh, and I had an amazing birthday! I worked out, was pampered at the spa, hung by the pool with a frozen vodka lemonade (while Jeff and Zack hung out on the balcony just above, it was quite funny!!), and after Z went to sleep we had an amazing filet and lobster dinner with gorgonzola mac n cheese and a bottle of Cakebread Cab...delish!!!!

Z on the balcony in his favorite chair. He has gotten quite stubborn lately and wants to hold his own bottle but doesn't do so well so Jeff put the pillow there to assistMet up with Skip, an old friend from high school. He didn't win the award for most awkward...in fact he did quite well

My husband looks like an ole redneck with bad hair, unshaven and a cut off shirt. LOL, not to mention giving Zack a beer... oh gosh, that is funny.

That was actually my beer Misty. And to be fair, Zack took it out of my hand...we didn't even stage the photo op.

He does look like he has a pretty tight grip on that beer. Priceless photo....too funny.
