Mini Vacation

Steve had to be in Tucson for a few days for work, so Joelle and I went with him and had a little mini vacation!  We stayed at the JW Marriot Starr Pass.  It is a beautiful resort.  This was our view from the restaurant where we had breakfast. 
You can't even tell that there is a city nearby.  Well sort of nearby, it took us about 20 minutes to really get anywhere.  It was such a relaxing time in the desert.  They had 3 pools, one of which was a lazy river with a water slide. 
There was also an area that had little water fountains that sprayed.  There were probably 20 holes and they would switch all the time so Joelle had a great time chasing after them. 
While Steve was working Joelle and I went to the pools.  It is so enjoyable to watch her.  She gets pleasure out of the little things in life and I love that she is such a happy little girl!
She went down the water slide and really liked it.  When Joelle and I first got there, she wanted to go down the slide.  There was another woman with older kids and they offered to take her down with them.  She got all the way to the top of the slide and then chickened out.  We ended up just going around river.  Joelle really liked the fact that because she had a life jacket, she could float with the current.  Finally she decided she was ready for the water slide.  We got up to the top and she sat on my lap and away we went.  It was a pretty fast slide and I was worried that she wouldn't like it, but she did!  When Daddy joined us he had to take her down a few times as well:) 

It was a wonderful little get away.
