The Babymoon!

Shawn and I just returned from our "Babymoon" in Northern Arizona. We spent the weekend in Sedona and took a trip to the Grand Canyon. In 4 years of living here, I had not yet seen the Grand Canyon -- it was definitely worth the trip!

We drove up on Friday after work and checked into the Amara Resort & Spa, a little boutique resort right in downtown Sedona. We had a little balcony off our room with a nice view of the grounds.



Saturday morning we got up early and made the 2 hour drive up to the Grand Canyon. We survived some windy roads and were so comfy in our new Tahoe, reminding us how happy we are with our purchase! I was impressed we made it in 2 hours, as you can imagine driving with an 8 month pregnant lady tends to makes drives just a tad long (frequent stops!). Here are a couple of pictures of Shawn and I at the Canyon.
We stayed for about 3 hours, going to different view points and had lunch. There are so many great hikes you can do, but as you can imagine we were not able to enjoy hiking this time around. I was amazed at all the people we saw at the Canyon -- people from all over the world coming to see it. It was beautiful and I am so glad I can say I have seen it!

When we got home we were excited to see a package from Grandma Grentzer! She made Baby Blu's crib skirt and it turned out perfect! His nursery is coming together...furniture is assembled and it looks great. We bought him a closet organizer this afternoon -- now Dad just needs to put it together. We plan to get the rest of the nursery done over Labor Day weekend.

We are at week 31 right now and go to the doctor tomorrow. We have a busy month of September with lots of travel for Shawn. He'll be making 2 trips to Seattle -- trying to get him to as many Seahawk games as we can before Baby Blu arrives. My sister and Lukas are coming to town in late September to visit while Shawn is in Seattle. I'm looking forward to taking my nephew to the zoo (if the weather cooperates and cools down a bit!). It will be October before we know it and our little man will be here.

That's what is New with the Blu's...more next weekend after Operation Nursery is complete!

The babymoon sounds great. You are looking good preggers. Keep your feet up and don't push it too hard or you will just wear yourself out. Enjoy the last 2 months, even though it starts to get uncomfortable. Hopefully it starts cooling down for you soon.
