Recent Travels - Los Angeles & Scottsdale

Posted on the 25 November 2013 by Thenigottothinking @tracyzlesh
In the last couple months, we've taken two little getaways - and taken our little trooper on her first flights.  We went to Los Angeles to visit my sweet girlfriends and then took a mini vacation to Scottsdale, Arizona.
LA was so much fun.  I have missed my girlfriends so much, and it felt so good to be reunited with them.  It was beautiful weather and we ventured out to a few new restaurants, the Fairfax Flea Market, and we had a Sunday BBQ.  Andie did well on her first flight... no tears and was just observing all of the new things to see.
  Thanks Nikki for these pictures!! Fairfax Flea Market {another one from Nikki} - love these girls!
Then last week, we spent a couple days in Scottsdale, Arizona!  I have never been there and was really impressed by how nice it was.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was thinking more desert... and it was beautiful.  The cactus is truly an amazing plant to me and I couldn't believe how they were everywhere.  That was my first experience with them :)  Scottsdale has so many amazing restaurants and the shopping areas are beautiful.  We just strolled around and enjoyed the beautiful weather.  And spent some time just relaxing by the pool.  Andie got in to swim for the first time with TL and didn't seem to mind the water! Our little frequent flyer now!  She did well on all of her flights. While we were in Scottsdale, we ate at Olive & Ivy and True Food.  Both were delicious (we ate at True Food in LA as well).  Strongly recommend going there if you visit AZ.
TL and I love to travel together... it gives us our time together to reconnect.  We've stop buying gifts for  each other for the last few years, and now we just go somewhere and make memories!
