San Diego Weekend

This past weekend Mark and I packed up the dogs and headed to San Diego. The main reason for our visit was for my very good friend, Jennifer's baby shower. My mom and I both attended the shower on Saturday, and had a great time visiting with Jennifer and her family. Jennifer has 8 weeks left to go, and looks great!

While the girls were at the shower, Mark, my dad, and all the dogs headed to dog beach for the day. I think Anakin and Stryker (my parents dog) had a great time chasing other dogs, playing in the surf, and running after tennis balls. Obi decided to be a moma's boy. He is not to happy about being in the water or having other dogs running all around him. He pretty much sat in between Mark's legs the whole time.

On Saturday evening Mark and I went to dinner at the Coronado Brewing Company (where Mark use to work). We had some really good food and got to visit with some old friends. Afterwards we crashed a house warming party that one of his friends was having.

Sunday, we got to meet Andrew Jacob for the very first time. Andrew was born on August 4th to our good friends Kristen and Josh. We had a very nice visit with Kristen, Josh, and her family before heading home to AZ. I leave you with a picture of Mark holding baby Andrew.

Staycation

This past weekend Mark and I did what people are calling a "staycation". We had the opportunity to stay at the Wigwam Golf Resort and Spa, here in west Phoenix, or Litchfield Park to be exact. We took the dogs over to our friends Lauri and Ron to stay for the night, and headed over to the hotel. We spent the day at the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Day Spa which the hotel has on site. We each had a massage, and then took advantage of all the amenities including the pool, jacuzzi, steam room, etc. It was a very nice relaxing day. That evening we walked over to Red's Steakhouse for dinner. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and very nice bottle of wine before turning in for the night.

We had a great weekend, and it was just what Mark needed after working 14 days straight. I guess you can say that we celebrated our 1st year anniversary a bit early. Wow, I can't believe we have been married a year come this Monday. It has gone by so fast.
