Back to school, 3months ago...

Let's just face it, we are HORRIBLE at taking pictures.  Before school started this Fall semester we decided to do a little "staycation" in Scottsdale.  We got a 5 Star resort in Scottsdale for 3 nights and had such a good time.  The resort was sooo nice and relaxing.  We felt really pampered.  We debated on going to California for a few days, but decided we could have just as much fun staying here and would be able to spend less time driving in the care and more time enjoying our vacation. Our destination was about 40 min away rather than 6 plus hrs. 

Our "staycation" consisted of...
#1 Sleeping in
We had those black out curtains in our suite, it was very easy to sleep all day long, they can be dangerous. And the bed was very comfy!
#2 Eating delicious food
We decided to try all new restaurants for every meal.  We could not eat at any chain restaurants either.  We found some delicious places, we did eat at the same place for breakfast everyday because it was super good and cheap! So if you are ever in Scottsdale you'll have to check it out, Randy's Restaurant, it's a cute little diner that's family owned.
#3 Movies
We watched a few movies just in our room, but we did go see The Help one of the days at the theatre.  It is a must see! We absolutely loved it!  I would have bought it then and there if it was available to buy.  I plan to buy it the day it comes out, it's that good!
#4 Shopping
We went to Scottsdale fashion square one night after dinner and we each got a new outfit! Or maybe I got a few.... haha
#5 Swimming
There were a few pools at the resort, and one of the pools was kind of hidden in the back so there was never anyone there.  We checked out the others and they were packed with people. So we had fun having a huge pool to ourselves every time we went. Very relaxing!
 #6 Last but not least
 Just being together with no school or work to worry about!  That was honestly my favorite part of the whole thing.  Just being together and doing whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, without a plan or schedule to stick to.  I am so lucky to have such an amazing man in my life!! I'm a spoiled girl... wish we could have a staycation once a month!

And sadly, the only picture we got the whole time was when we got Taco bell right before we went into the movie.  We were both starving and had to grab something quick, not that I'm complaining because Taco bell is my favorite! We had the camera with us everywhere we went too, that's just how bad we are at this stuff. One is better than none, right?
