Every year, my husband and I look forward to our April vacation. In years past, we’ve gone to Palm Springs, Hilton Head, San Diego, San Antonio, and this year…Scottsdale (that’s our hotel, the Westin Kierland, pictured above). What do all five of those destinations have in common? They’re all much warmer than where we’re coming from.
Even though it’s April, it’s still not very spring-like in central Illinois. Seriously, temperatures in the 50s and low 60s…ugh. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, which is why I’m optimistically posting this song today:
Whether or not it actually starts to warm up here in the Midwest, I’m not worried about the temperatures where we’re headed tomorrow. Hello, 80 degrees and sunshine! Perfect weather for chilling out in the lazy river at our hotel (how cool is that?!) and exploring Scottsdale.
I most definitely won’t be spending much time on the computer while I’m away, but not to worry…I have blog posts ready and waiting to be posted. After all, vacation is no excuse to slack on my 365 in 2011 goal!
Is it warming up yet where you are?
Nice! We vacationed in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area for New Year’s. We stayed at the Sheraton Wild Horse Resort and Spa and loved it. Have a great time!
Thanks Allison! Glad to know you had a good time there…I’ve never been to AZ so I’m really excited!
I live in Phoenix now (grew up in Ohio and did my internship in NY). We just took a vacation to northern Arizona to get out of the heat=P It was our first 100 degree day on Friday! Scottsdale is really pretty, it’s where my husband works out of. You’ll enjoy yourselves. Just keep lots of sunblock with you and drink plenty of water. It’s supposed to cool down a little this weekend though! Enjoy our pretty state!
Thank you, Kelly! Can’t wait to spend some time in your state — I’m looking forward to that hot sun after such a long, cold winter. Wow, 100 degrees already? I’ve got the sunblock packed for sure :)
