Valley of the Sun

The blog has been a little quiet lately so I apologize for that but we've been out and about. Last week Leah and I went to Arizona to see Bookie for a week. Paul came down for a long weekend and we had a great time. I was really really really freaking out about flying with Leah (alone) but there was no reason for concern - she was great. She pretty much zonked out as soon as we would take off and slept the whole time.

We did many of my old favorites such as eating Mexican food, laying around enjoying the warm sunshine while my Mom does my laundry, and walking around the neighborhood while gossiping about the people in each house as we pass it.

One brand new thing we did was go to the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden. They had a really cool exhibit/installation there called "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass." It was all these really cool glass pieces installed right in different areas of the gardens. It was kinda funny to go to Phoenix to see a glass artist who is from the Seattle area. Anyway, I highly recommend it for any of you who live around there.

As much fun as I had in Arizona, I still thought it was way too hot and was happy to be back in the cool, cloudy Seattle weather.
