AZ in January = wonderful

We made it to Phoenix and stepped off the plane into 65 degrees and sunny...absolutely wonderful. I didn't want to get into the rental car. Asher felt fresh air for the first time (since he's normally under a blanket when we're quickly going from house to car to house/store in the Montana winter weather) and seemed to like it. The plane ride was ok. Both kids were awake the whole time but relatively well behaved. Asher fell asleep as we were landing (of course). Unfortunately we couldn't sit next to each other because they only have one infant oxygen mask per row (fun things you learn when traveling with 2 kids under 2). So they put us in aisle seats one behind the other which worked pretty well. We switched kids halfway through the flight and all 4 of us made it to Mesa in good shape. We're currently driving to Lake Havasu City and both kids are sleeping in the backseat. Unfortunately, we're stuck in pretty ugly traffic on I-10 so it could be a long drive. I don't miss living in a big city with big city traffic, that's for sure. We're happy to be here and planning on enjoying the wonderful weather for the next 10 days.
