Babymoon

Last weekend Josh and I took a quick trip to Phoenix for one last getaway before we become parents. We had a great time! It was definitely a needed vacation for the 2 of us. Our vacation was full of rest and relaxation. It doesn't get better than that.

On Friday we were on the road at 7am. A quick stop at the gas station to fill up and get water then off to our next stop... Cracker Barrel in Kingman. We stopped for breakfast and enjoyed every bite. After walking around the store a little bit, we got back on the road. After another hour or so we had to stop again in Wickenburg for some pregnant lady to use the bathroom and walk around :) We put the hotel address in the GPS and we were on our way. Next stop... the hotel! When we arrived I looked at the hotel in awww. It was beautiful. We didn't waste anytime. About 20 minutes later we were down at the pool. The pool was one of the best parts of the trip. It had 2 huge pools, a lazy river, and a water slide. If I wasn't pregnant I'm pretty sure I would have gone down the slide. They had double rafts for us to use so we spent most of our time on the tube in the river going round and round. We ate lunch out by the pool and laid around until we were tired of the sun. Got back to the room and compared tan lines. Who would have thought... Josh was so dark and I was STILL perfectly white not even red haha! We got ready and then headed across the street to a place that was similar to Town Square here. Restaurants, Movie Theaters, and Shops. Nice of them to have misters on through out the place. Town Square needs to invest in some of those. After walking around a bit, we ended up going to Dave and Busters for dinner. It was so delicious. We didn't play any games because we were so drained from the drive and the sun. One quick stop to Target to get Josh a belt and then back to the hotel we went. It was 7:45 and we were both in bed. I'm pretty sure we were both asleep by 8:30. I guess we are getting old haha!



the fabulous pool at the resort
 Saturday was filled with lots of fun stuff. Josh woke up early and headed down to the gym. I got ready and went down to Starbucks instead to get us some breakfast. We met back up in the room, he got ready, and to the golf course we went. It was supposed to be 102 degrees this day but there was a breeze and the weather was perfect. We ended up playing with 2 other guys. (lets clarify I didn't actually play. I just rode along) When I go with him, we prefer it just to be us 2 because I keep score, pull the pin, and get out to watch the tee off. With other people, I feel like I am in the way a little bit. So I more so just hang out in the cart and got out to watch them on the green from a far.We still enjoyed our round together. Unfortunately we were stuck behind a group that was way too slow and we were 2 holes shy of finishing the round before we had to leave for our spa appointments. We left early and ran up to the room to get a change of clothes for Josh and to order lunch at the spa so it would be ready when we got there. The walk was so long to anywhere you went around there because it was so big. We finally made it to the spa, picked up our lunches, and checked in. The host took Josh one way and me another to the locker rooms. Our massages were first then our pedicures. When we finally got back together for our pedicures we found out that both of our massages were not good :( It was a total waste of our money. We enjoyed our pedicures though. Our feet looked great after!! After we were done we headed back up to the room. Got ready for the night and headed back across the street. We went to this brewery for dinner. The food there was really good. Too good actually haha! We headed to the theaters after that to see what was playing. Hangover 2 was starting just in time. We ended up seeing that and thought it was pretty good. It was better than what everyone told us we thought. Since we already walked around there the night before we headed back to the hotel and went down by pool. There was a live band playing and we found us some chairs and enjoyed relaxing, talking, and listening to the music. I think this is one of favorite things to do at night on vacation. It seems we always find something like this to do no matter where we are. After a while we headed back to the room and once again were out by 9:30.

Our finished toes!!
Sunday was a sad day :( It was time to leave. We got up, got ready, packed up, and headed across the street for breakfast. The only place open for breakfast was Mimi's Cafe so that is where we went. After breakfast we were on the road. We stopped our Dr requested every 2 hour stops and then one last stop at Pit Stop in Boulder City. I love their hamburgers there. It was Josh's first time and I don't know how impressed he was. After lunch we headed home!!
Our trip was quick but great! I enjoyed every minute of it. The resort was beautiful and the pool was relaxing. I think we will definitely be going back some day. I am so thankful for my husband and the effort he puts into making trips for us so great!! He is the best!! Now that our baby moon is over... it is time to have this BABY!! We couldn't be more ready :)
