Weekend Getaway

For Jim's Birthday, we planned a getaway in Downtown Phoenix. We picked a weekend that worked with Jim's work and school schedule and reserved a spot. We then realized it was Valentine's Day. We've discovered that Phoenix is a beautiful spot to vacation, the weather is great. We hiked Camelback Mountain and visited South Mountain. There were so beautiful views of the City of the Sun. We went swimming, even though is was only 62 degrees. It was a nice getaway.

Here is a view of Camelback Mountain from South Mountain. It's a great view of the airport too. It's fun to see the mountains from different views. From my house, I can only see the Superstitions. From our viewpoint on South Mountain, you can see everything except the Superstitions.

The kids spent some time with their grandparents. They were so excited to go and spent time with them. Angela wanted to have a sleep over at Grandma's house for quite awhile. She was so excited when the time finally came. Dani was such a great help with the girls. What a wonderful girl she is. The kids had such a great time and so did we.
