Batteries Recharged

We had such a delightful time in Arizona that it was extremely difficult to leave. It never hits me as hard as it did yesterday when we got on the plane. I was a blubbering fool.  We are already anxiously awaiting our next visit

Here are some highlights from our trip...

Eating my Mom's potato salad. She makes it every time I visit and I couldn't have been more grateful. As you can see here I clean my bowl with every serving!

We also had some of my favorite Mexican food from Serrano's (their bean dip is to die for) as well as another fave, In-N-Out burger. I swear the food we eat is worth the price of airfare alone.

On Sunday we watched the Philadelphia Eagles beat the NY Giants to advance to the NFC Championship game with all my family at an Eagles bar in Old Town Scottsdale that John found by doing some online google searches. It was loud and packed but the energy was amazing and I loved doing the E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES chant with fans living on the west coast. 

Even my sweet grandmother was in attendance!

We definitely thought long and hard about how to stay for the game this upcoming Sunday against the Cardinals (seriously, what are the odds?) but responsibilities here just couldn't be ignored.

We also got to spend some real quality time with my brother Dan, aunts, uncles and cousins. I especially enjoy seeing three of the most important women in my life, my Mom, Nanny and sister.

Not to mention the fact that both John and I got to visit baby Gia, my newest cousin, in the hospital. She continues to grow big with every day and is totally adorable.

Trips to AZ are never overly packed with events but we like it that way. Gives us time to focus on what is important, the time spent with family.
