If we hadn't already had a big enough week - driving to Medieval Times on Thursday, going to Disneyland on Friday - Violet and I were also busy packing for our weekend adventure.
Stace took us to Burbank Airport on Saturday morning for our flight to Phoenix, where Sara and Alli picked us up for a fun girls' weekend getaway!
Once back in their hometown of Gilbert, we went to the cute old town area, where we had a yummy lunch at Joe's Real BBQ.
After lunch, we went home and chatted, while the girls played. Then, Sara and I had naps! I'm not good at napping, but I needed this one!
That evening, Tony made a lovely charcuterie board.
Sunday afternoon, we went to the lovely new regional park in Gilbert that we visited in October, when Christina, Cami and Melanie were with us all.
These two have such a sweet friendship!
I love this pic Sara got of Violet trying to take a selfie with her polaroid camera. She hasn't used this much in recent months, but was very excited about bringing it on this trip. We ordered new film and a new carrying case on Amazon while we were having our Dole Whip at Disneyland, and had the order delivered to Sara's house.
On Sunday night, Sara, Tony and I went to their favorite sushi place, where they have Happy Hour all day on Sunday. It was yummy, and so inexpensive!
Back at the ranch, Alli and Vi had s'mores, and then watched Harry Potter outside.
On Monday, after we got packed up, we went to Top Golf, a fun place that Sara and Alli had taken Violet to when she flew out on her own to visit them.
It's a driving range, with electronically monitored balls and points awarded for hitting the ball into targets.
We then went to an Ethiopian restaurant, a place special to Alli and family because of her Ethiopian heritage. I enjoyed the meal very much, and especially enjoyed learning about the cuisine.
We then headed to another cool park, with this giant climbing structure.
And then, it was time to say goodbye and head back to the airport! What a fun weekend!
