- Hellooooo, Arizona! -

So many pics from our vacation, so few words to describe the beauty... 

--> Saying hasta luego to the subzero tundra.  
--> Scooting along through the snowstorm...Old Man Snowflake behind the wheel!   
--> 5 people, 4 suitcases, 3 backpacks, 2 sets of golf clubs, and a partridge in a pear tree. "Merry [early] Christmas!" from my dad and one super-stuffed, AZ-bound SUV!! [Yes, he has always taken great pleasure in dishwasher loading and grocery bag accessorizing and other weird sorts of organizational packing.] 
--> Me: the chosen child to sit on the floor between two bucketseats with an oversized "tote" on my lap. 
--> First glimpse of Phoenix...
 --> Our home for the week! 
 --> Hiking. Staring.
--> Hiking at Tonto National Park. 
--> Resting/relaxing/sleeping and simultaneously suntanning at Tonto National Park. 
--> Old Town Scottsdale...
--> Testing out the infamous "prickly pear" margaritas...
--> Grand Canyon Railway: our transport to the 1-mile deep abyss...
--> Long awaited first glimpse of the Grand Canyon!
--> Pre-cliff jumping selfie. #becausewecool 
--> Train back home.
--> Dinner at Black Bart's in Flagstaff. Entertaining...
--> Hiking and exploring in Sedona! 
--> Celebrating the birthday boy!  "It is totally fine to combine my birthday and Christmas gifts!!" --said no one born in December ever.  Happy birthday, baby boy!! :) 
 -->  Super symbolic sun setting at the end of an incredible week and vacation... :( 

We covered a loooot of ground in a weeeetle bitty bit of time, but I would do it all over again to do the things we did and see the things we saw! 

It's been real! So until we meet again, AZ...
