A: No. Not a baby mooning you. More like a honeymoon before the baby comes. That's whats just happened in our little corner of the world (which made us remember the blog we made but never really did anything with for our honeymoon). So you get a 2 for 1 this month after like a year of silence. Lucky ducks.
g: Speaking of ducks, standby for a quacky cameo! Hope y'all enjoyed our long overdue honeymoon blog. You probably got done reading it just in time to read this one... so... Cheers! Let's dive in.
g: no trip of ours is complete until we've taken a cheerful selfie together. So we begin by getting that out the way... Whew!
A: too high quality of a selfie - a must-have that I learned from the always fabulous Rachel Moore.
g: The first thing we did when we touched down in Arizona (besides picking up the rental car) was eating a fancy meal. Went to a boo-je restaurant where I ate the skinny man's equivalent of biscuits and gravy! It lacked a bit of oily fat, but was tasty, nonetheless.
A: hahahaha boujiee... lol. he ate a crepe with an egg and some yummy sauce. this little place was SO stinking cute. a little french farmhouse breakfast cafe. something straight out of the stories my mom would tell me about her family gatherings in Louisiana (with healthier food I guess).
g: After breakfast, it was photoshoot time. Had to show off the lima bean suit and that cute little belly bump! Also, Coffee... every good journey begins with coffee!
A: i call this my green bean pregnancy outfit. however, not surprised greg doesn't know the difference between a green bean and a lima bean. our kid had to make a glamour shot cameo. also, so did my coffee. cheers.
g: By far the weirdest thing we did on this trip. We went to an interactive art museum. I understood none of it. But it was kinda cool. The photos definitely make it seem more epic than it was.
A: it was ~art~ so greg was not quite sure about any of it. he did like the virtual reality art thing where we had to wear goggle masks (although greg had a far more inappropriate name for them and I ain't gonna say it on this family friendly blog).
g: I learned on this trip that I can't just eat one thing. I need burgers, and grilled cheese. I needed custard and pastries... I needed pool time, and a frozen pina colada. I came home a few pounds heavier.
A: sry greg that the pic I got of ur face looks like that... but i can't say it was inaccurate for the whole of our food experiences. ur face kinda always was looking like that. in a cute way.
g: I don't always drink margaritas. But when I do, I drink them out of fish bowls with my pinky sticking out like a fancy frenchman. Seriously, that was one high octane marg. Also, I found a Burro! I wasnt allowed to ride it, so I settled for an awkward photo with it. Our lady of guadalupe came to play too!
A: this is a classic scottsdale move. the last time we were here, my mom and i each ordered a marg and got a "lil" tipsy off of a half of one. greg finished his own and both of ours and was totally fine. this round? I ate some chips. rip.
g: yes... I splurged on alien donuts. no regrets. We spent a lot of time by the pool. Baby's first sunburn... kind of!
A: i can't actually be in the heat long enough to get a sunburn. we call it "I feel like a bulldog. Too much heat and it is utterly tragic". body temp is just... rlly sensitive. this was, however, living out a pregnancy dream of mine (virgin frozen drank by the pool w a belly shelf and a cute husband). nailed it.
g: i did it... i visited americas greatest bathroom in 2017. After you're done taking a tinkle, you can go wash your hands while looking at sharks. There's definitely worse places to take a pee in this world!
A: america's. best. bathroom. 2017. enough said. also greg loves aquariums. like, loves them.
g: Treat yo self day ended with a fancy steak dinner. Dont let looks fool you. The steaks actually stunk. But the cocktails were good and I'll take crummy steaks if it means a night of dressing up and hitting the town with my beautiful wife! Seriously, the steaks were bad... 0/10 recommend.
A: ^ rip. again. but my date was cute and I ate TWO (count em) TWO kinds of truffle potatoes (both delicious) so not all was lost. also, i didn't get a cocktail. again. rip. again. but whatever the drink was that she gave me had a fancy multi-colored sugar rim. so that counts for something!
G: THE MOMENT HAS COME!!! I call him Dexter. He was my pool friend. I was missing my chickens back home and little dexter kept me company in my avian loneliness. He wanted me to tell you, "quack".
A: not really sure why this was the last two pics we took... greg was feeling it. all in all, the trip was a lot of pool time relaxing and food eating and nap taking. and it was SUCH a gift to do so much relaxing together and mini adventuring together before the babe arrives. but we both agree - it'll be more fun to adventure with the 3 of us :)
g: Till next time, folks. Thanks for indulging with us and sharing some fun memories. Know of our prayers for our loyal fans (everyone) and please pray for us in this final stretch before frankie beth joins us in the flesh. Much love, y'all!
A: ^what he said <3
