We were able to go back to Scottsdale, Arizona for Ben's spring break this year.
What a treat! An entire week of relaxation with Mary & Doug (as well as Stephenie, Jason & Brayden) with beautiful scenery & great food.
Mary's sign in #20 pretty-much sums it up.

Early one morning...
(We were 2 hours ahead of Amarillo time, which translated to an extra early run with the first hour being in the dark.) As much as I have enjoyed-- and dreaded-- some of these LONG distance runs, I am glad the St. Louis marathon is only a few weeks away and I can put this crazy mileage behind me.
During our stay in Scottsdale, we were able to visit with Stephenie & Brayden
on two different occasions.

We attempted to get a decent picture of the three cousins, but this was the best that we could come up with.

more pool time...
During our stay, I got to go shopping to a few of my favorite stores/shops: Trader Joe's, Lululemon, etc... and Owen was a good buddy to hang out with. I also plowed through TWO novels during the week. Ben played golf on three different days and attend a couple of Trading meetings with Doug, which made the trip spectacular for him.
Us leaving town.
So incredibly beautiful.
(Sad sigh)
Maybe again this summer...
Looks like a great family vaca! Can't wait to cheer you on in a few weeks :-)
