Today I finally feel a bit better so I'm going to try to get caught up on our trip. I'm so far behind on Project 365, I doubt I'll ever catch up with that.
We left on Thursday, the first day of Spring. The whole day was spent driving. We finally pulled into Tucson, AZ about 10:30 pm. 18 hours of driving. Ugh. But the kids did super.
Friday morning we got up early and had the hotel's free breakfast. We had tickets to the Rockies spring training game so we headed to the field. We got there pretty early so we went to the adjacent park to kill some time. Turned out it backed up to the Rockies practice fields. So the kids were able to watch them practice and the players tossed a baseball over the fence to each of our kids.
Then we just lazed around the park and walked around the lake.
You can see Zane hugging the trash can in the background -- I don't know. =)
When it was time, we headed back to the baseball field. The stands started out nice and empty:
But they sure didn't stay that way. It ended up being a sold out game against the Cubs. We met people there from Chicago, Denver and even a couple down from Anchorage, Alaska.
The weather was gorgeous -- 80 degrees -- but with not a cloud in the sky it got pretty hot. So we ended up taking Zane out of the sun onto the concourse and finished the game there.
It was really fun for us to see where the Rockies play during training. And Tucson was just beautiful. The kids were amazed at the fact that palm trees and cactus can live side by side.
After the game, we drove up to Phoenix.

Oh, it looks like you guys had a great time!!! What a little loving guy Zane is--he just knew that trash can needed a hug that day. :)
Robin, WHAT a blast! My dad lives in Phoenix. I guess we should have gone more than once when the drive wasn't really too bad!
