Home again

After travelling across the country and back...TWICE...we are finally home. I won't bore you with too many details, and so I don't become long-winded (which may not be possible), I thought just some little nuggets of information might work better...
~arizona is hot, humidity or not, it's still just plain hot
~away games are awesome, especially when they are far away, there are TONS of fans there, and we win :)
~if you happen to be landing in phoenix and you suddenly fear that terrorists are trying to take down the plane with rockets, do not be alarmed...it's just a sun devil home game and they have just scored, thus shooting fireworks off of their little mountain into the arriving planes
~i still don't understand my husband's desperate need to have our picture taken with a cactus...one of the most awkward moments of my life...see picture
~i could have had gasoline in my bottles instead of breast milk and no one would have been the wiser
~don't ever check your luggage at the phoenix airport...ever
~there needs to be a universal, strictly enforced, definition of a carry-on bag
~maui is one of the most beautiful places on earth...it takes a long time to get there, but it is well worth it
~if you have the chance to take a second honeymoon with your husband, do it...even if the thought of leaving your babies at home makes you sad...sipping a mai tai by the pool takes the edge off of the sadness :)
~you can swing from a rope like tarzan into a plunge pool, even if you're 29
~6 dudes wearing matching bathing suits and beer bottle sunglasses is never cute or cool...even if you are part of a wedding party
~my little boy would have loved the pool...9 water slides, rope swing, baby beach, water elevator, lazy river, volcano, waterfalls...LOVED it
~there is no way a hamburger should cost $18
~brad and i make a pretty awesome kayaking team
~those underwater cameras are crap...not one of our snorkeling pictures were usable
~the only thing that made the miserable performance by the dawgs against the roll tide any better was the fact that we were watching it in our bathing suits from a tiki bar above the pool
~i think the security guy at honolulu airport thought my breast pump was a bomb...he tested the entire thing for gun powder
~did i mention maui was beautiful?
~don't fall for it when they say they are "upgrading" you to bulkhead seats...in exchange for more leg room, they also "upgrade" you to a metal seat
~i don't ever want to see my breast pump again
...enjoy the pics!
