Brian and Sara had quite a fun extended weekend this past weekend! Don't need to really leave home for a 'babymoon' when you have great weather, friends, and places to go thanks due to a great employer!
On Friday night we used our babysitter Deanna for the second time and ventured out to Talking Stick Casino where our favorite band, Cowboy Mouth was playing. They are a high energy New Orleans rock band that is just amazing. Hard to describe but the lead singer is also the drummer and he is just a spazz! His sole mission is to make sure everyone is having an awesome time. And their music has a good message that warms the soul!
We met Brian and Cassie for dinner beforehand and then headed to the concert where a great time was had by all. During one of their songs people in the know throw red spoons on the stage and Brian and Cassie said they felt so cool because we came prepped with red spoons for them to throw!! We hope Cowboy Mouth comes back to town again soon - what a fun, fun night!! Sara's surprised she didn't go into labor that evening from laughing so hard!
On Saturday morning we dropped Trevor off at Grandma and Papa Hillins and headed to the Four Seasons Scottsdale to begin another day/evening of fun...this time courtesy of PetSmart and MARS (yes, the candy makers but they also have a pet food division). During the day we had options of spa treatments or golf at Troon. No surprise that Brian chose golf and Sara chose spa treatments. Word on the street was that Brian carried his foursome in the scramble and Sara absolutely loved her luxurious pedicure and maternity massage. We spent some good time networking by the pool in the late afternoon too.
The hotel is absolutely amazing - we stayed in a casita room that was large and faced a mountain. It was so peaceful. MARS thought of everything - goodie basked filled with yummy treats in the room, chips and salsa, and a Kindle Fire. Wow! That evening there was a cocktail hour and dinner on the terrace for the 120 or so PetSmart and MARS attendees. It was the perfect evening for a dinner outside. No cardigan needed :)
People sure couldn't believe that Sara was there in high heels with 2 weeks to go before giving birth but Sara had a blast! Best comment of the night: (direct quote) "We decided you are the cutest pregnant person EVER" Awwwww.....
After dinner they had a karaoke party. Apparently Brian's work colleagues love to sing. Brian even got up for a few songs. One of which was with another guy and they sang 'Sweet Caroline' - smart choice because once you open it up the crowd usually takes it away and the singers can fade into the background :)
On Sunday morning Trevor came to the resort and we hung out at the pool for a few hours. Trevor loved it and didn't want to go home but as soon as we got in the car he was out. Tired camper! Too much fun with Grandma and Papa as well as swimming!!
On Monday the same group hosted us for the Cardinals/49ers game. We've never seen a suite so large for such 'few' people! Two bars, tons of food....and lots and lots of candy which made baby sister very happy! Back to reality today though....
