Arizona Sun

Towards the end of March some of my family and I took off for AZ for a little vacation and family time with our aunt, uncle and cousins. Derek stayed here since it's tax season and not the finest time for a finance guy to be going anywhere (but to work that this). I on the other hand am a nurse sooo with a little trading around I was good to go ;) I tell Derek all the time "wouldn't it be fun if we were nurses together?!".....his response is less than enthusiastic. Anywho we took off from Peoria airport for some 85* and sunny weather on a Friday afternoon. And yes....my skepticism concerning airplanes still remains, but the 2.5 hour flight verses driving a ton of hours gets me on the airplane no problem;) And for the record if you're flying Allegiant, ice in a cup is about the only free thing you can get....so pack some snacks.

Also for a checked bag the limit is 40lbs.....I love the scale they had there..and it obviously loved me back;)

Welcome to Mesa airport

The house we rented out for the week....would it look too weird if I built this house in Illinios?

 

 

visiting Uncle Keith's store!

Four wheeling in the dessert!

Playing "Scotland Yard" with cousins

Fro-yo is good no matter what state you're in:)

My parents went out one night so my siblings and I had a pizza and game night. Reminds me of when we were little kids....loved just playing board games together all day.

spent some quality time driving up to Prescott to see Jake Rokey one day

Pool time at my aunt and uncles!

And I'll never get over the pretty mountain/dessert landscape.

It was a really fun time and I am so blessed with the family I have:)
