Arizona....

We are so glad and excited for Juaquin and Jaime.....they are now married and gave us the reason to make it to Tucson AZ and 80 degree weather. We are not sad at all that we were in 80-85 degree weather and missed the cold and snow here in WA. We arrived TH very early morning after a great flight with Terrace....she is a GREAT traveler! We spent TH going around downtown Tucson and some time at the pool with our fish Terrace! We met up with friends and Brad's old coach at Pinnacle Peak in Trails Dust Town, Tucson's "in town" western town filled with activities! Pinnacle Peak is known for their 30 oz. steaks and many were had AND finished that night.

Friday we packed up early to head to our next hotel (the golf villa's-where we could all stay together and Terrace was able to sleep so well in a warm dark closet) where the guys would golf and Terrace and I went back downtown to the Children's museum and had such a great time! Everyone else got in on Friday and we again had some pool time before the rehearsal dinner and time together back at Juaq and Jaime's suite. It was so great to see everyone!

Saturday was the official relaxation POOL DAY until early afternoon and then we got ready. Terrace had such a great time in the pool the 1st two days but was content just putting her feet in on Sat and understands she can not get in without an adult. Luckily TJ took over a 3 hr nap on Saturday bc she was exhausted by this point. We enjoyed a wonderful sunset wedding and yummy dinner. one problem - I rolled my ankle on a small set of stairs in flip flops so spent most of the nights with my foot up resting I am very excited to see the photographers pictures bc we did not take many.

We were up early Sun am to catch our flight home (went really well again!) and after a wonderful birthday dinner with Dottie we were home by 8:30! What a great family vacation!!! Congrats Jaime and Juaquin

she has her own backpack for the flight but was to tired

I have had a lot of time today with my foot up to blog! I am walking really well so it looks worse than it feels for the most part!
