Phoenix Trip 2015

We took our "annual" (hoping to keep this an annual thing!) trip to Phoenix to spend time with our good friends--the Prices, run the Phoenix Marathon, and get. some. SUN!   It was cooler than usual, which was a blessing for the race, and we had the best time!

Desert Ridge, Phoenix, AZ

The first day of the trip, we put on our shorts and sandals and spent as much time as possible outside.  I loved waking up early to watch the sun rise over the desert on my morning run.  We reunited with the Prices to play at a park and the kids played as though they had never been apart.  They really are best buddies even though we live across the country from each other.

Lunch date!

On Day 2 we took it easy and played in the pool.  It was no surprise that the kids loved being in the water and would barely come out for lunch.  

Day 3 was race day!  I felt great, but unfortunately half of our crew came down with a stomach bug.  Poor Carter, Chris and Angela were really sick but everyone came out to support me!

We finished up race day with a double date with the Prices and then I was ready for lots of sleep!  Our last day was Sunday where we went to church and had our last meal at the Prices.  We were sad to go but recharged to attack the Northeast cold.

Phoenix-- we'll be back for ya next year!
