April 2010

Oh April, were do we begin? Maybe we should begin by telling you that we were going to go to ITALY! Yeah, doesn't that seem too good to be true? Well, it was thanks to a stupid volcanic eruption in ICELAND! Daniel qualified through work and we were going on an eight day all expense paid trip to Florence. Our friends, the NeVilles, also qualified so we were going to go earlier and see Rome as well. When we heard of the eruption we were checking the news hourly, hoping for the best. Too many flights had been cancelled and rerouted for the company to send 250+ people to Europe. It turned out we went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Doesn't sound like it even compares, huh? Well, it didn't compare but that was one of the great things about it! It was very relaxing and as Daniel put it we "didn't step foot into one stinkin' musuem!". We also went on antother trip to Scottsdale, AZ- which was fabulous! Daniel golfed at a world class golf course, while I got pampered at a world class spa! It was the most relaxing trip! We also took a cooking class at Sur la Table where we both learned how to cook some yummy southwestern cuisine. We discovered that we liked flan (yummy!) and we had a great time at the cowboy cookout. There are no pictures of that trip because I forgot the camera, but it was relaxing and deserty and we looked amazing the whole trip (ha, ha!) so you get the idea. You're probably wondering how we managed to have such relaxing trips with 3 kids, but we didn't take them!!! Betty and Cindy watched them both times! I'm pretty sure they had a great time, I know everyone survived (which is nice because now we know we can get away).
