Last week we escaped the negative Minnesota temperatures and headed to Arizona to visit Grandma and Grandpa Matson. This was our first kid-centric vacation. We visited the Phoenix Zoo, the Wildlife Wold Zoo and Aquarium, the McCormick Stillman Railroad Museum and Park (twice!), the Phoenix Children's Museum and drove the Apache Trail (well...part of it...we turned around a few miles after the pavement ended), we swam in the pool every day and best of all we got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa!
