My family took a few days out and drove to Arizona. We always come out every summer, but during this year we weren't able to with the move and school starting. We are finally able to take some time and wind down with just the five of us. We drove out Sunday and spent time stopping and getting food and taking pictures in the desert. Then we finally arrived at Harrah's and it was all fun and games from there. We had dinner, spent the rest of the evening in the pool and relaxing. Then today we woke up and get ready to head to Oatman City where they have everything from ghosts (if you believe in that), to donkeys, and some great ice cream. After we had our fill of ice cream and treats, we sat across the Oatman Hotel and just enjoyed the breeze and the sights. The donkeys were walking around and we just sat there, talking, laughing and living in the moment. My family ( just like all families) have their ups and downs. During this time, we have been able to go over old memories and make new ones. The seasons have been changing, and to think that we might not have as many family vacations like this kind of scares me. As everyone gets older, we can only make sure to take ahold of the time we are given, because you never know when it can be taken away from you. I cherish times with my family, even though some days I want to rip their hair out, we're family, that's not going to change. These are my people and they are as fun and as crazy as they are. From there we grabbed some food and headed to the Colorado river and just played in the water and just relaxed. Then headed back to spend the evening in the pool again and made some new friends. Nights where the weather is cool, the water is nice, and there's great conversation, these are the nights I live for.
If you're ever out in Arizona, staying at Harrah's or any of the many casinos you're in for a treat. If you're not a big gambler or drinker, there are so many things to do that avoid just that. From all the food spots (like Cinnabon, Smashburger, and Pinup Pizza within Harrah's) You can always head to the movies, or the river and find some jetskis to rent. The possibilities are endless.
