Way to go, RG and Kar! So glad you two had a great time. I'm waiting for the next installment where we hear what happened Saturday night, and you both promise the police you'll never visit Arizona again without 48 hours notice to them.

P.S. Based on those pictures, I would have said that when the musician guessed your ages, he was about 2-3 years on the high side.

While we were eating dinner the General Manager of the Marriott came to our table and apologized for the cold weather Phoenix had been having. We assured him that we had been having a wonderful time in spite of it, but he insisted that we stay an additional night, his treat! How could we pass that up? We had mentioned that the only time we were really cold was going to the spa in our swimming suits. He asked why we didn't wear the robes provided and we told him we never recieved any. He apologized and within a half an hour when we returned to our room to make new flight reservations two cozy white robes were hanging in our closet!

We spent the evening listening to the band. It was supposed to be a private party for a Marriott Masters group, but no one showed up for three hours so the band gave us a private concert. It was so much fun! The Marriott group trickled in around 11:30, but no one asked us to leave or paid us any attention so we just sat and enjoyed the music and each others company. When the band finished playing we went to return to our room, but made a quick stop at one of the outdoor firepits to warm up a bit. We were chatting with some people (highly intoxicated people) when a woman approached and asked what the He!! we were doing there? I told her we had eaten dinner and stayed to listen to the band. She then asked if Kar and I were prostitutes!!?? At first I thought she was kidding, but she persisted and said a couple of other rude things and I told Kar I was going to the room. Apparantly after I left she said some horrible things to Kar (I'll let her tell you) and we sat up until well after three am talking about this bizarre encounter. LOL! If you look at the picture above, that would be our "hooker" clothes... lol!

We fell asleep and after 3 1/2 hours of blissful sleep, it was time to start day 3~~

This is Kar after a long night of fun!

Sunday morning woke up and giggled like school girls that we scored an extra night at such a swanky place. We really needed this day to just relax and goof off (all the other stuff we did was REALLY hard work up to this point).
We booked a couple more spa treatments, Kar got a manicure, new nails actually and we both did a mineral bath. Kar's nails looked great... she kept looking at them and tapping them on the table! Her bath was wonderful, mine, well the technician refused to make the water warmer and after 15 minutes my teeth were chattering and I pushed the panic button to stop the jets and got out. Oh well! It woke me up anyway. We did try to lay out in the sun that day, but 60 degrees just didn't cut it. We decided to go to dinner across the street at a huge mall type complex. They had about 15 restaurants to choose from and we decided on the Macaroni Grill. They brought us some great bread and flavored oil, we ordered shrimp and artichoke dip for an appetizer and then they brought our meals. We each had several bites and were absolutely stuffed! The waitress thought we didn't care for the food, but it was great! We just ate too much bread! We wandered around looking for some trouble to get in, but alas, it was Sunday and there was no trouble to be found. We were in our jammies and ready for bed about 10 pm. We chatted for a bit, and then I guess I passed out because the next thing I knew it was Monday morning 6 am... Got up, sneaked out for coffee, brought Kar a croissant, and started the nasty job of packing to leave heaven! We left the room about 8:30, took one more chance to get lost at the resort, and grabbed a cab to the airport. We shopped a bit there, ate some breakfast at the Dick Clark Cafe (which by the way had an awesome breakfast for under $7, which we should have shared) and then said our last goodbyes. It was so sad to see Kar leave, but the memories we made in these short 3 days will last me a life time!!

This is the final picture of Kar at the Resort Lobby

goodbye

On a side note.
I got home on Tuesday and my son Jordan raced out of the car without helping carry in all the bags. I was a little irked and when I walked into the house he had a video camera pointed at me. I looked down and where an ugly, stained dining room carpet had been, a beautiful wood floor glistened! My hubby and son had spent the weekend installing a new floor for me and when I asked when they did it, my hubby replied "While you were OUT!" lol! I love those two!!!

Reader, I never posted my innocent score...lol!! It's on the high side.
We were very proud that we were never arrested, or even cut off at the bar!

Mware, you are a dear, and can I just say a visit to the opthamologist is in order for you!!! LOL!

LOL, RG. I'm sure DS will be watching football today and I'll get a chance to resize them and post. He's been sick the last few days so required a lot of 'mommying'! :)

Finally, our last night there, we had dinner at the Marketplace, and RG made a new friend. Or she was at least rubbing noses with him!

As a band "groupie" I emailed some pictures we took with the band Undercover Acoustics and Jay (the singer) asked if I knew anyone that would like to recieve their newsletter. I told him I'd put a link here so anyone that would like to could sign up. He put my picture on the front page of his website LOL! So if you have a chance check it out and sign up. It will help them get backing to record an album if they have a larger fan base. http://www.undercoveracoustic.com/
