We’re back from Arizona! It was a wonderful trip, and I am so glad it ended with a WIN by the Longhorns! The game was definitely nerve racking… I left Austin with 10 very long and pretty painted nails, and by the time the game was over they looked like they had been caught in some kind of machine! But it was so worth it, I love a good game! I had made a peace with it all when OSU looked like they had it in the bag. I was preparing myself for the LONG flight home… and the disappointment, but the preparation was not needed.
I took TONS of pictures while there. We had a chance to visit Dave’s brother Carl in Chandler AZ the first night. On Sunday we had planned to do some sight seeing in the mountains, but it rained!! It never rains in AZ, but it did while we were there! We went to a national park anyways and drove through the mountains in the rain, it was still beautiful! I was amazed at all of the cacti… it’s so weird that they grow so tall and are EVERYWHERE!
Our hotel was amazing and SOO relaxing. It was literally right next to the stadium, so we barely needed the rental car because we walked everywhere. There was a new shopping center right next to the hotel, which had a Margaritaville, a Fox Sports Grill, more restaurants and lots of little shops! It was fun to see all of the Longhorn fans (and the OSU fans) walking around out there!
We ended up going back to the national park mountain range on Tuesday, because the weather was beautiful and our flight didn’t leave until 3:30pm. So it was nice to do some sight seeing in the sun! But the sun in AZ is definitely brutal! I was having a hard time getting the settings on my camera right with all of the sun light, but I got some good ones!
It was so hard going back to work today, after a week of vacation!!! It was definitely needed. I will post pictures this weekend once I get all 500 (!!!!!!) of them loaded (from 2 different camera… I have my pocket digital for the game, I'm to afraid to take the SLR into the stadium, it might get ruined! and my SLR from the sight seeing, and other adventures!)
Happy Thursday! (2 day work weeks rock!)
