Our youngest daughter is home for spring break, and everyone knows what that means....spoil time! We picked her up in Las Vegas on Sunday night at about midnight, stopped at In-N-Out for our traditional welcome meal and had a great drive home catching up on life.
She told us that she wants to play a lot of golf while she is home, so we scheduled a tee time every day while she is here. We may have to cancel some of them, but hopefully we'll play a lot.
Monday started out great by sleeping in after a late night, enjoying coffee on the back porch for hours, then off to the golf course as requested.
She makes me look like such a pee wee, but I'm OK with that!
We enjoyed a beautiful sunset from the hills above town.
Then back in the RZR for the ride home.
Tuesday was another golf day, and another perfect day to be outside. Our daughter's game is coming along well!
We love the wildlife on the golf course.
For dinner she chose Angelina's, one of her favorites, and ordered calamari and gnocchi with pink sauce, two of her favorites.
Man is it fun to have her home!
Wednesday morning I went in her room to wake her up, and she looked so comfortable that I had to just crawled in with her, but she was a cover hog, so I had to just get back up.
She needed a little more In-N-Out for lunch, so we stopped there again. Don't let the bun fool you...she's our gluten free girl, so her's is the lettuce wrap. She still loves In-N-Out, even without the bun.
Then back to golf again. She is a trooper. Golf is a hard game, and we thought she would get frustrated, but not even a little bit. In fact, we discovered that she is the athletic one in the family and has picked the game right up. She's making us look bad!
A great looking practice swing.
A little more spoiling...Doritos!
Well that was a super successful day of golf. I think she beat me, but luckily we weren't keeping score. Now home to help her with taxes!
Thursday morning the weather wasn't great in Havasu. We woke up to rain (which is great for the desert, but not for our daughters spring break), so we decided to change our plans and head down to Mexico (It is about a 3 hour drive) for a shopping day.
Purse shopping, but this wasn't the one....nor was any of the other 50 she looked at 😉.
After a fun morning in Mexico, we decided to stop at the Imperial Sand Dunes on our way home. It's not far out of the way, and a beautiful stop.
When we got back in the car after visiting the dunes, it was late, so we told our daughter to see if she would find any where to eat in the small town of Blythe, CA on our way home. She came up with a restaurant called Baja Fresh that sounded great, so we headed that way. When we pulled in, we discovered that the fast food restaurant was actually in a gas station, which we weren't thrilled about, but went in and looked at the menu anyway. The menu looked great, so we ordered.
Chips and a salsa bar come with every order.
And the meals were actually amazing! Very fresh and flavorful!
We'll definitely do that again!
When we got home, we enjoyed a little chocolate wine (that Steve's mom had left for our daughter) on the back porch before we called it a night. This was our last full day with our amazing daughter, and we weren't ready for it to end yet!
Our time with her here has been so good for all of us! It is so hard living here, with her living in Colorado. We cherish every moment that we get with her!
Today we dropped our daughter off in Las Vegas for her flight home. It could have been a very sad day for all of us, but we didn't want that, so we decided to make it a fun day instead.
Now off to the airport so she can return to school, work, friends and the amazing life that she has created for herself! We can't wait until we can do this again! We miss her already!
