Our first night in town, we stayed with Benny's older brother Shaun at his new house. We loved getting to see his beautiful home, and we always love time with him!
We keep trying to convince him to move back to the midwest, so buying a house out there was a step in the wrong direction. :)
The classic pose Benny and his brothers strike when I say "okay, time for a picture." Silly boys...
Then I always make them try again...

Saturday night Shaun dropped us off at our resort. We found out about this resort from Chris and Sarah Boddy's blog, and we loved it!!! It was called the Point Hilton Squaw Peak Resort. It's a great place for couples, and would also be a fun place for the whole family.
We had dinner each night at one of the resort restaurants. This one was our favorite!
The resort was beautiful! Here, we're standing on the other side of one of the pools, and next to one of the restaurants.
This was the quiet, peaceful pool we relaxed at Sunday and Monday. It was right behind the fitness center, so both mornings we worked out, spent a couple of hours at the pool, went in to eat lunch and then went back to the pool. You'll notice in the bottom right hand corner a blue raft in the pool, on which I spent a lot of time. (It's hard to lay out on your belly when you're eight months pregnant!)

Reading and getting a tan...fabulous.
The resort also had an awesome lazy river!
Our last night in town, before dinner.
Shaun came out to the resort and joined us for dinner!
For a couple of years, Shaun has been telling us about this mexican drink called "horchata," which is best described as cinnamon-y milk. He was really excited for us to try it, so we drove around after dinner Monday night and finally found a place that served it. Here's Benny taking his first sip:
It actually was pretty good!! Thanks for culturing us, Shaun!
We most definitely had an AWESOME time on our vacation. While we were gone, I asked Benny, "when do you think the next time will be that we'll take a vacation like this without kids?" We both agreed it would probably be a while.
