The Legacy

Andrew, Jeremy, and I were able to take a little "staycation" (that's recession talk for a vacation close to home) to The Legacy Resort in Phoenix a couple weeks ago. Our friends have a time share there and were able to get extra rooms for a very reasonable price.
We weren't able to stay more than one night which was a challenge in itself being that it was a Monday night.
Both Jeremy and I worked Monday so we couldn't get out there until about 6pm (we had to drive separately, too, because Jeremy had to do some work the next day in Phoenix).
I got off of work, picked up Andrew, headed out there and checked in to our room. Jeremy was able to make it there at about 6:30 or 7:00.
We had dinner as a group in Andy and Mindy's casita and it was crazy packed! It was quite shocking to me, honestly, how many people we had crammed in there. I hurried and scarfed my food and headed back to my casita before Jeremy and Andrew. I was able to take off my shoes, lay on the bed and relax for about a half hour before Jeremy and Andrew came back to tell me they were going swimming. Since I was slowly getting out of work-mode and into staycation-mode, I headed down to the pool for the last hour it was open to hang out with the others while Jeremy and Andrew swam.
Andrew's friend Brysen stayed the night with us that night and they slept in until 8am, which was much appreciated for my sleep-deprived self. I woke up refreshed and ready to hang out in the pool all day. Literally, all day since we had to check out at 11am and we were staying to eat dinner with everyone at 7pm. I had no where else to go. =)
Jeremy had woke up super early to golf and then he went and did work stuff and came back around 2:00 or so.
Mindy allowed me to hang out with her in her casita so I didn't have to fry in the pool the whole day. That was nice because she fed us lunch, too. Sweet Mindy!!!
We headed back to the pool until about 6pm then got ready for dinner at Margaret and Willie's casita. The food was great again - of course!!! This time there were the desserts from the previous night, as well as new desserts (my favorites - brownies and some strawberry thing that Mindy makes). If you know me, you know I live for the dessert portion of the meal so I was in heaven.
Then it was time to head back home (only 45 minutes by the way) and get back to reality. It took me a while to get into vacation-mode being in the same state and all, but once I had a good night sleep and some relaxation poolside, I was all set! Really bummed we couldn't do another night with the others, but now we know for next time!
