Scottsdale – Day 1
June 27, 2010
June 26: 9am: Wow, I can’t believe I forgot how crazy, loud, and circus-esque it is to be in the car with all four of my siblings. I’m not even sure I have the words to describe the experience. It’s like five separate brains, conversations, iPods, phones, and voices moving at the speed of light. Honestly, I remember talking to them, but I have no idea about what. It was a bit overwhelming. Good news – I still have at least half of my sanity. Woohoo!
Seven hours later: We finally made it. The drive was beautiful – lots of mountains, cactuses, and clear blue skies. The hotel is incredible too! We have a villa which is totally nice cause we all have fridges (and a kitchen so mom and I are gonna do a lot of the cooking here.)
5:45pm: Mom and I decided to go to the store to pick up some groceries. I never felt like I stood out so much. Everyone in the store had blonde-ish hair, and I was one of the only girls who was tall and had long, black hair. While walking through the store, I got a lot of looks and glances. Very awkward. These three guys actually had the guts to call out “hey baby!” in FRONT OF MY MOTHER. Agh so frustrating. Where’s a bodyguard when I need one!?
7:30pm: Kids are watching a movie poolside, Lici is at the gym, and I’m laying in bed trying not to fall asleep. You know I’m getting “old” when I’m tired at 7:30! Mucho pathetic. Oy.
