I've been blessed with a few really good friendships over the years but these ladies are at the top. We've known each other since middle school and high school and even though it's been 30+ years (cough, cough) we are still the best of friends and make an effort to have a Girl's Weekend every couple of years.
I love these girls!
This year we rented a house in Scottsdale, AZ and the bonus for me was a visit with my mother-in-law, who lives in Mesa.
The house was amazing!
But the best part was the pool in the backyard - perfect for an October weekend.
After a quick lie about, it was off to the store for supplies.
Brussels sprouts anyone?
This was how we spent every morning of our long weekend -- poolside with a cup of coffee, then a swim. Heaven.
We even got to experience a small dust storm.
It was kind of fun to watch it come in. Luckily, it came and went quickly.
Then it was off for a walk around the neighborhood to check things out.
We were perplexed by this Speed Table sign. Elsewhere in the neighborhood they were Speed Bumps but up front it was a table. We laughed every time we drove over them.
And there was quite an array of cactus.
We are girls who love to be silly with the camera.
We didn't leave the house except for supply runs and one day we drove up to Sedona, about two hours north of where we were staying.
It was so beautiful and definitely worth the drive.
We walked the downtown area and did some shopping, eating and then off for a Pink Jeep tour.
There was artwork everywhere.
And artists capturing the stunning views.
Silly girls again...
Time for a group grope.
Then it was time for our jeep tour.
Not our jeep, but we were in one just like it.
It was bumpy and jumpy but tons of fun and the views were amazing.
We had the jeep all to ourselves!
And then we got a chance to get out and walk to the edge of one of the cliffs.
Our awesome tour guide was so much fun and spent a lot of time taking pictures for us.
And then got creative and suggested a couple poses for us.
Which ended up being our favorites.
One last photo in front of our ride before heading back down.
That rock in the distance is where we stopped and got out.
Our ride back was just in time to catch an amazing sunset.
Then back to the house for more fun. This was the tree out in the front yard.
Chillin' before we pack up and head out.
The long weekend was not quite long enough and before we were ready it was time to say goodbye to my girls and fly home.
Until our next trip...
