We arrived in Arizona this afternoon after escaping the bitter cold of Cedar Rapids! This trip could honestly have not come at a better time. There are 7 of us total at this time, Dad, Laura, Carson, Cade, Grandma Smith, Mike and I. Unfortunately Jason, Jen, Celia and Ruby were supposed to join us, but the girls are under the weather and they aren't sure they are going to make the trek out here, which is totally understandable, yet they are dearly missed!
We were a little delayed getting out of CR, but the minute we got into the warm sunshine we quickly forgot about the small delay! At the airport to greet us was my Grandma and Grandpa Harvey who are snow birds in AZ from January to April (they are clearly much smarter than the rest of us)! It was nice to see a friendly and familiar face as we got off the plane! We picked up the rental cars and headed to the house. I must attach the sweet mini van that Dad is driving around in...remember we are heading to Barrett Jackson, can't wait to pull up in a mini van!
We piled into the rental cars and headed towards the house, which was about a 20 minute drive. We pulled into what seemed like a housing community, NO...it was the house and the property it was on. It truly is beautiful! It is a 5 bedroom home, with 2 master suites and a casita that has another 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen and bath. There is a pool, a putting green, huge patio with a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen with a flat screen tv and the list goes on and on. I didn't get great pictures today as the sun was setting and making glares, but here is a shot of the front door, look for more to come!
We all headed out to dinner to a family favorite...P.F. Chang's! We then headed back to the house to enjoy the evening weather and have a fire in the firepit. We decided to call it an early night so we can hopefully rest up from the travel and get started bright and early tomorrow!
We will be sure to update often with more stories and pictures, we hope you are all at least warm and snug in your homes if you are battling the cold!
