Arizona!!

For our 5 year anniversary we wanted a little getaway just mommy and daddy, so we flew across country to visit our best friends in Phoenix Arizona


 Our resort at the Casa de Trenhams









After a lot of fun in the sun we headed to Scottsdale Arizona for more good times!





 Loved this country bar
 Nothing like authentic Mexican food, yummy

Every night ended in many laughs and a soak in the hot tub

Thursday we headed up to see the Red Rocks in Sedona but we first stopped at a hidden jewel in the mountains Jerome













 After sweaty palms driving up many high mountains we saw the breathtaking views of Sedona










tequila plants no you can't suck the tequila out of them




not sure about climbing


 Rattlesnake, Coyote, Javelina, and the Scorpion







Beautiful sights and yummy Prickly Pear Margaritas life is good
I love Sedona we'll be back real soon




When you think you can't have any more fun this gang heads out into the middle of the desert to go the Knot Jersey 

 it was amazing to find all this water out in the middle of nowhere

 Love Captain Yodar













Yes we had to stop at this amazing place




It was hard to leave Arizona we brought so many stories and memories back with us, we miss you so much already Trenhams you know how to be great hosts we love you so much this is only Part 1...
Special thank you to GJ and Pops for watching bubs for us
