The reason that I first started telling David that I was going to come to Phoenix with him is because he was going to be gone over my birthday. Granted, he still had to work all day on my birthday, but it was just so much better to be in the same city as him. I didn't have any great expectations of what we'd do - but Cal and Sue made the whole day incredibly special for me. They took us out to play, treated us to a delicious lunch, made me feel special all day, and even surprised me with some mini-cake treats and some presents back at our hotel. Then Cal and Sue watched the kids after David got off of work so that we could go on a birthday date. We went out to dinner at The Vig and it was fun and delicious. I felt so loved all day and it was probably my very favorite day of our whole trip.
We went to the McCormic-Stillman Railroad Park and it was so wonderful! Seriously, such a fun time. We'd go back in a heartbeat, and would recommend it to anyone in the area. There was a little train you could ride, a fabulous playground, an ice cream shop, and a working model-railroad museum. It was all so kid friendly, but still interesting for adults, too. The museum part had all these little trains that were set on motion activators, so when you put your hand over the sensor the train would start moving, travel around the track and return to it's resting spot. Lydia loved making the trains go and then running with them around the whole track. Austin found this little train car and played in it for almost an hour. He climbed up and down over and over and over. It's so neat to see him figuring out his little body. We all looooooooved the whole railroad park.
We went out to lunch at Chipotle, had a birthday party at the hotel, went to dinner with David at the Vig, and mostly just had a wonderful, wonderful, day.
