Labor Day Weekend ~ Benson, Arizona

Scott is looking into getting a race car again, so we headed to the track for him to test drive/ride along.







And this is post race, loving on her ge-ge Connor ;)


After the race, we headed to Walmart where the boys each got a skate board and Sophie picked out a My Little Pony stuffed animal, whom she named Anna! Lucky kids, I tell ya!





Sophie and I had the same shirt on this day, in support of our friends bringing home their daughter from Xiamen, also!


After dinner, she asked the hotel staff to light the fire pit. Since we don't have one, this is always fun to sit around the fire and chat. I asked them their favorites parts of the trip so far...they each said their new gift, and the boys said having a key card in their pockets LOL!





As we were sitting by the fire, Connor ( of course ) came up with the great idea to go get ice cream! Again, wanting to check out the local scene, we went to Old Benson Ice Cream Stop~ they had about 50 flavors of soft serve!





And this is the end of our short trip! Short and sweet ;) The kids loved being in the hotel, but the car ride home was another story ;( Hoping they become better road trip kids! Until next time....

Labor Day Weekend ~ Tombstone, Arizona

This weekend we headed south! I thought we were going to Tucson, but as it turns out, we went a bit further south. Scott was going down to test drive a race car, and we tagged along for a little get away.

Our first stop was in Tombstone, a western town. We bought tickets to the OK Corral Gun Shoot Out re-enactment.







They used really loud cap guns, and Hayden thought they were too loud and real! Connor knew better...he understood this was not real ;)







This was on our way out of Tombstone...




Once we left Tombstone, we headed out to find lunch. We decided to try out a local diner restaurant, the Horseshoe Cafe.




We packed in a lot from leaving in the morning till lunchtime! Now, we were on our way to watch Scot test out a BMW on a road course...
