Road Trip to Phoenix (I)

Last month we decided to really test Dillon's limits of confinement and drive to Phoenix for a little vacation. I know what you're thinking: Phoenix in September? Six hours in a car with a two-year-old? Despite these hurdles we actually had a really great trip, especially once I invented the "car seat canopy" to help Dillon sleep.

First our pre-trip breakfast of waffles, almond milk and coconut water.

I love waffles. No, really, I love them.

 We stayed at the Hyatt at Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale:

Michelle has downloaded another collage app!

We had a lot of fun at the pool:

Ready to see and be seen!

This playing stuff is tough work!

Dillon is more interested in the sand than the photo.

We also had an awesome time at the Phoenix Children's Museum:

Wall o' CDs.

Only the most awesome kids play structure in the world.

Dillon and daddy go through the trike wash.

Basically she was a blur the whole day.

Quiet time playing with magnets, blocks and dinosaurs. (Craig is pooped.)

Finally, a short video of Dillon at the sand table in the museum:





I lied. Here are some pictures from the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. Dillon had so much fun dancing with the crows and talking to another little girl wearing princess pyjamas and a tiara.

Giddy'up carousel!

An evening stroll.

Dance with me, birdies!
