Happy New Year!

What a crazy final weekend of 2011. We had planned a family trip to Monterey, CA for New Years Eve. Dinner, relaxing, and so on. But that did not entirely happen.

I set the alarm for 4:15am on Friday morning to get set for our 7:00am flight. It turns out as opposed to sleep-walking, that I turn off alarms in my sleep. We missed our flight. By a freak stroke of luck, We were able to get the last 2 seats on the afternoon flight with the rest of my family to Phoenix, then Monterey.

We make the afternoon flight with the rest of the family and arrive in Phoenix, only to find out our flight into Monterey has been completely cancelled. There are no available flights into San Jose, San Francisco, or anywhere else. It’s a big mess leaving us with little options.

We improvised at the airport and decided to spend the weekend in Phoenix. It actually worked out great and we had a lot of fun. We even got to meet up with friends for a short time who live in the area. We went to the Phoenix Zoo, had a great dinner on NYE at Morton’s Steakhouse, and enjoyed some down time all around.

In no particular order.  Here’s to 2012!!
