A few weeks ago Mark and I ran away to Arizona for a few days. One of Mark's mission companions was getting married so it gave us the perfect excuse to get away. We left Zac home for the first time. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Mom struggled but he did great with Grandpa and Grandma Bradshaw. We stayed at the amazing Arizona Grand Resort. Since it was a random weekend in September the place was empty. Most nights we had the pools to ourselves.
This was the amazing view from our room at night.
On Friday we attended Brett and Hayley's wedding. It was fun watching Mark interact with his Mission Companion. After the reception we went to dinner at an authentic Mexican Restuarant in Mesa. As you can see the salsa was way too spicy for Mark and I. So we ordered the guacamole with was heavenly.
Saturday we played at the resort's waterpark all day. Unfortunately no pictures since I left the camera in the room. The waterpark had 3 huge waterslides, a wavepool, and the best part a half mile lazy river. We spent he majority of the time in tubes floating the lazy river. That night we met up with Josh another one of Mark's companions for a Brazilian dinner. Dinner was again amazing. They served all you can eat 15 different types of meat, fried bananas, and my favorite grilled pineapple.
Overall it was a great spur of the moment trip. Good friends + good food always = a great time. Zac did great with Grandpa and Grandma they kept him so busy he hardly even noticed we were gone. A huge thanks to them for watching him while we were away.

Yay! I'm glad you got a little getaway just the two of you! Looks like you had lots of fun. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's nice to get away for a bit. Aaron and I are going on a trip pretty soon, for a whole week and I am way nervous to leave Cassidy.
