Girls Weekend


After our amazing trip to NY last year, Marcae and I decided that we needed to make the girl's trip an annual thing.  We decided to go to Arizona this year for our trip.  We flew out on Thursday afternoon and arrived in AZ around 6pm and got our rental car. Minus the strong smell of marijuana, the car was great!  We went to Torchy's and grabbed some yummy tacos for dinner and then headed back to our hotel at the Crown Plaza.  It was a nice hotel with a great pool which was what we wanted.  We went to bed around midnight so we could get up on Friday and fill the day with fun!  We woke up early and went to the gym.  After a great workout, we enjoyed a yummy breakfast with the vouchers that we purchased.  We then went to the pool and laid out for a couple of hours.  After we relaxed in the sun, Marcae was nice enough to let us take a little time to go visit Cory's family.  Cory did not tell the kids that I was coming.  Soph and Smith answered the door and they were so surprised.  Lu came downstairs and saw me and she said "Jamie" and jumped into my arms.  She snuggled with me for over an hour.  It was heaven!  I sure love those kiddos.  After our visit we went shopping for a few hours before going to Grimaldi's for dinner.  We then stopped at Trader Joes for some gummy treats, grabbed a diet coke at McDonalds, and headed back to our hotel to watch Dateline.  It was such a great day!  Saturday we went to work out and then to breakfast.  We took our gross workout selves to Last Chance to do a little shopping.  Then we went home to get ready for our massage.  It was a little out of my comfort zone but it was good.  Then we got ready and went to try Rio Rico, a place Cory had recommended.  The food was super good.  We then went to get Cold Stone before heading back to pack for our early flight.  It was seriously the best time.  Marcae is such an amazing friend with whom I can completely be myself.  Cannot wait until our trip next year.  We are thinking Nashville or South Carolina.  So fun!
