First of all, can I just tell you how much I loved seeing this in the mail?? (the official invite)We had a sitter come stay with the kids and we headed up Friday evening. After a late dinner with Scott & Melissa Sellers, we went to see an even later movie (Captain America; it was good)!! We don't have kids to worry about, so why not live it up, right?!The next morning, we had a nice breakfast then the docs had a coding class while the spouses were left to explore Flagstaff. Two of the other wives and I headed to downtown Flagstaff to check out the little shops and boutiques, then to the mall. I got a couple shirts and a necklace.
We met back for lunch at Black Bart's Steakhouse. (Did I mention it was a western theme?) When we walked in, there were cowboy hats, bandanas and harmonicas at every seat. They had a few doctors participate in a little talent show, we had lunch and then we all were tutored on how to play the harmonica. It was so hilarious!!
Afterward, we headed up higher on the mountain to do the Skyride.View from the top~ 11,500 ft.On the way back downMatt bought a bolo tie for the occasion.
After lunch, we had hours to kill so we drove up to Snowbowl to find "our" tree. I ended up traipsing uphill, through wet grass and mud, in a SKIRT and SANDALS!!! But we found it! It's getting a little hard to read the original hearts we've carved there. But we added another one to include Preston and this new baby.
Even though we end up sooooo tired after cramming so much into so little time, it's nice to be treated to a weekend getaway by Matt's employer. I know not everyone is fortunate to have such a great job in this economy, so we thank our lucky stars for the opportunities we are given.
