Scottsdale Getaway Weekend

Thanks to the Fund, Jason attended the Philanthropy Roundtable conference at the end of October and I was thrilled to ride on his coat tails and enjoy three perfect days in Scottsdale, Arizona.  (Finn and Wylie were more than happy to take their own private vacation with Grandma and Grampa.)  October in Scottsdale is idyllic. Perfect blue skies, 80 degree days, 60 degree nights. 
I had no trouble adjusting to life without kids.  I slept in, went running, enjoyed a massage, sat by the pool and read my book—all without coordinating a babysitter.  I looked up once and noticed some cute little boys, thought how much Finn and Wylie would enjoy the pool, readjusted the volume on my iPod, and went back to my book, and margarita.
Jason and I continued the without-children act by spending Saturday hiking and horseback riding, telling ourselves this active lifestyle is how we would spend our lives if it weren’t for naps and grocery shopping and, oh yeah, the fact that we live in the Midwest.
