Back from our summer vacation in Scottsdale, AZ. I'm really glad to be home too. It was really hot there and although it was beautiful, it's just another city to hang out in. The highlights would have been things like the Botanical Garden or Biosphere 2. But we didn't see either of those. It was too hot to sit in the backyard or by the community pool. It may as well have been winter for all the sitting inside I did. We went to Sedona but Jillian was sick so we didn't really do anything there either. We did have some nice Mexican food there in a little restaurant that we would have bypassed if it weren't for a recommendation from someone Jonathan talked to. The guy there was really rough around the edges, almost a little unfriendly, but he warmed up a bit and the food was really good.
The highlights of the trip were the different birds all over the place and the grapefruit tree in the backyard. The hot weather was interesting but even if it would have been 10 degrees cooler we would have been able to spend more time outside and do more things.
Jonathan seemed to really like it. I don't know if it was just because we were in a really nice place or what. He golfed early in the mornings and enjoyed himself. Good thing he did -- someone needed to have fun on that holiday.
Since we've been home, we really only had two really nice days outside. The day we arrived home and the day afterwards. I took the day and took care of the garden. It was extremely overgrown and crazy. The pansies in the front garden are almost dead. I pinched them back a lot and I hope they'll spring back a little.
I always look forward to going away but this was boring, very, very boring.
