Phoenix is HOT!

End Mileage in Scottsdale, AZ:

Well, the ride here was pretty straightforward. About 5 hours of cacti and tumbleweed. Gets boring after a while. We arrived in Scottsdale at about 7 p.m. on Saturday, just in time for a fabulous dinner cooked up for us by Mark's folks.

We spent most of the weekend relaxin at the house, swimmin in the pool, playin with the dogs, and hangin out with Kiera and the folks. Kiera is full of energy, as usual. See pics below for some examples :)

Mark had an interview in Tucson on Monday, so he shaved the beard for it. The interview went well, and he's mighty glad to be rid of what little facial hair he had.

While Mark was at the interview, Leah hung out in Scottsdale and hit a Yoga class with Michelle. I think that's the first physical activity for either of us on the whole trip!

We're off to Vegas today to visit with Kilburn and Debby for a couple of days. Can't wait! Mark's first time :) Wish us luck at the tables!!
