*Nathan and I had an incredible second honeymoon in Phoenix, AR. He planned the whole thing and I never knew a thing about it. How exciting!! He did give me the itinerary one month ahead of time (I was totally shocked) so that I would be able to prepare myself and the kids and get everything covered with the business.
Does anyone besides me see the relief in my eyes??? Of course, there is also a shadow of fear because I knew we had to do it all over again in a few days. lol
Our hotel was great - had a beautiful suite.
I also decided to take a pic with the Arizona sign - it's the only one we saw since we flew in.
Couldn't help but take a pic of this town we drove through on the way to Mule Creek. It reminded us so much of Mexico. Just a perfect experience.
Driving to Mule Creek we saw a sign that said, "Caution: Creek Bed Ahead". Huh??? Yeah, so this is the creek bed we drove through - and this was a "big" road that we were on. It wasn't some back road to nowhere.
On the way back to Phoenix.
We got cleaned up and went out for dinner. It was so nice.
If you know where we went from this pic, then you win the non-existant prize. 8-) It was to die for.
This was the next day for our anniversary dinner. We went to Ah-So's Steak and Sushi. Oh, wow - loved the food and the entertainment.
Please excuse the hunchback of notre dame here - you are supposed to be looking at the car.
Cleveland Indians Spring Training Complex. LOVED this. Totally loved it.
We put the top down on the car and drove up and down the streets of downtown Phoenix. It was perfect.
While driving around, we stumbled up on this little place. It was so quaint and the tacos were wildly good. Nathan begrudgingly gave me a bite because I didn't order anything myself.
Oh, yeah - did I mention it was 80 degree weather??
Nathan's food at Dave & Busters was too cool to not take a pic of. Isn't that a beautiful burger??
We waited a long time - a very long time - for our food at D&B. I kept myself occupied with my camera. I might see a little bit of "Really?...Again??" in Nathan's eyes.
And just like that - it's over. Over. And we are back in one of these crazy things. Of course, when we got out of this thing there were 3 of the most adorable kids running up to us yelling, "Daddy!! Mommy!!" And everyone in the airport was smiling that "Awww" smile. Yeah, perfect ending.

Wow, girl...you jumped back into your blog with a bang...LOVE this post and that you got to do this trip - kudos to Nathan!
wow, myranda it looks like an awesome time!!!! I can totally feel your fear of flying...i will probably have to be drugged the next time i get on a plane. I went to Idaho by myself last year and was a total mess. I will say that I think I would have done a little better if my family would have been with me.
So glad you had a memorable 10 year Ann. Yea!!:)
Yes, Mel - it's all or nothing for me. Bahahaha. No, I just decided to be sure that I was off the hook here for another few months. Since this post was so long it might even give me close to a year off. 8-)
Janella, it was awful. I felt like if we started to nosedive there was nothing I could do about it at all. I would just have to look out the window and watch the plane blow up. lol Anyway, yay for 10th anniversaries. 8-)
Cool post, cool pictures, cool car, and cool place! Only been there once, but I love AZ!
Brenda - I loved it, too. Perfect place. I do think that I fell in love with it because it was warm and Ohio wasn't at that time - actually, is Ohio ever warm??? 8-)
Hey - I was just thinking about you ... that I missed you in cyberspace. :-) Awesome pictures!! Looks like you had a great time! So happy you got to go. Sorry that it was over so quickly! :-)
Okay...so you are so not off the hook again for months and months. lol! I am glad you had a great time. For our 10th anniversary...I was 13 weeks pregnant! lol! Loved all of the pictures!!!
Hi, Tara...I miss you, too! How is it being a mommy of two? Some of us haven't ever had that experience. I'm sure you are doing a lovely job. You are a wonderful Mom. I'm sure you have really enjoyed your mom being there.
Mist, on our 10th anniversary I hadn't been pregnant for 5 1/2 years. Whew! Sounds great -- at least to me. Good for you, though - what would we do without our baby Jaz?!
