A Grownup Weekend




 
Chihuly - detail of The Sun

I haven't had very much alone time lately - 2 big kids and a baby need a lot of attention.  So *four* days without kids attached last week made life pretty amazing!  Dear husband had a business conference in the Phoenix, AZ area - I ignored the recession and hired people to stay with the kids, filling an entire page with who was supposed to be where when.  It was worth it.

I read a book, slept late, had meals served to me, got a massage and a pedicure - and spent parts of 2 days at the Desert Botanical Garden.  I got to take LOTS of pictures of the Chihuly glass installation they had at the garden - beautiful doesn't cover it.  How does he think of these things?  How does he blow all those pieces of individual glass?  How do they all hold together?  How come I didn't take more than 307 pictures?

Oh my GOSH I love it! And I'm so glad you were able to get some YOU time. I require a lot, myself!

My friend Charlie would say "that wasn't a grown up weekend. A grown-up weekend is the one you spend taking care of your kids. You had a KIDS weekend."

That made me laugh.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would totally dig the southwest sunshine this time of year.
