Tuscon Trip

Shane had a continuing education conference in Tuscon this last weekend so we headed to the Hilton to enjoy the sun!

THIS is pretty much all we saw of Tyler. His face is raw to prove it.
Shane and Paige, (well, mostly Shane) really took to the water slide!















Friday we checked in and tried out the water slide until Red Lobster called our names. How many kids do you know that insist on ordering crab legs and eating every last one? That's Tyler for you. He's a seafood man through and through. He's even tried mussel.

Saturday, the kids and I slept in and watched Evan Almighty. Shane had class. After that, he met us in the pool and we played a game of water basketball and then sat poolside with a giant plate of loaded nachos and ignored the fact that we should be applying another round of sunscreen. (We payed for that later.)
Saturday night we picked up a couple of pizzas and ate in the room. Later, at the pool, they played 101 Dalmations poolside on a big projecter and we watched bats flying overhead. The weather was perfect.

Sunday we checked out and played cards in the lobby until Shane was finished with his courses.

It was a great little weekend trip! We can't wait for the next one in November when we get to explore Sedona for the second time!

PS. I remember Shane having glasses when you guys got married. Did he get LASIK or does he wear contacts now?

I'm jealous of the warm weather! It is June here, and still only 65 degrees if we have a nice day! It looks like you had a great time! I wish I could be there with youguys!

Okay, my last comment made it sound like it is only June where we live. . . how nerdy is that. Anyways, you know what I meant!

I love weekend getaways. A waterslide...I'm impressed. And the fact that your kids eat seafood shows they picked up some of your adventurous side.
