Babymoon in Tucson



Babymoon/Anniversary Celebration

Our 7th anniversary was March 23rd - but Daniel was in Brazil for this date. We had planned on celebrating when he came home. I took off an extra day from work and Daniel planned the trip! He took me to this beautiful resort in Tucson, AZ on April 15th. I would have posted pictures sooner - but I couldn't find the cord to upload the photos! So... here we are, several pictures later and I'm finally able to post!

We left Friday afternoon and stayed until Sunday morning.

Here we are in our room - they presented us with a complimentary fruit and cheese platter. They had champagne as well - but were able to get us sparkling cider instead. Yummmm!

This is the view from the pool! Look at those mountains!

This is the "cool pool" - about 65 degrees! Needless to say, I did not get in. However, Daniel, on Saturday, had been in the jacuzzi for a while, then decided to try out the little waterfall. Too bad I didn't have the camera for that! Of course - he loved it!

Me and Vivi

Our toes look so cute together - right?
Another shot at the pool!

Daniel, the photographer, took this one of the palo verde tree with the scenery behind. Beautiful!

Here we are after dinner - totally exhausted from our day!

A delicious breakfast of waffles with fruit. I also had this yummy blueberry/banana smoothie.

Daniel had this super yummy breakfast panini - eggs, basil, ham, and lots of cheesiness.

This is the entrance of the resort! I wish you could see the amazing view of the city.
It was breathtaking!
We had such a relaxing time!
We saw the movie Rio - super funny. I loved that they got the Brazilian culture right on!
We did lots of fun window shopping (and a little real shopping)!
We ate dinner at AJ's (I've never eaten there - but what a great selection!)
We also visited my sweet sister and her family on Sunday and went to church with them.

What a great weekend!

I love Spring!!!

So - spring has just about come and gone... It lasts a total of about 2 weeks in the valley! But I LOVE IT!!!

The weather as of recent has actually been really nice. We had a beautiful Sunday and my Easter lilies are almost in bloom! Yeah!!!

Here are the irises, snap dragons and other colorful Spring flowers in our yard!



Sniff... Can you smell the sweetness!

Dad's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Papa Cox!
So my sweet father turned 70 something (I can't remember!!! - nor does it matter)
We had a little family gathering at my brother's home.

All of the yummy goodies - yes there was watermelon too!

I loved this one - my mom and dad saying "hello" to Vivi!

Dad - I love you!

Here's my dad - doing what he loves to do... lead music.
