Today we had nothing to wake up early for, but my body must still feel like it's in Minnesota because I still woke up before 7.
Paul had to work today, but Christa and I enjoyed some coffee and breakfast before taking a tour around their complex. Their little neighborhood is gorgeous! It's so green with tons of plants and flowers with beautiful pools and facilities. They even have an orange tree grove just across the fence! How cool is that?! It seriously feels like a resort.
After our little walk we decided to sit out by one of the pools to soak up some sunshine. It was so relaxing after our last few days.
We enjoyed our lunch outside on the balcony and then left to go to Google before I needed to go to the airport.
Paul was still working so I had to say goodbye to him and Mykonos (their cat) before we left.
Google is huge...ok, you already knew that. But really, they are. The whole Googleplex has so many different buildings and it's really a cool complex. We got to see people playing outside, like they did when they played Quiddich in The Internship, and people were cruising around to the different buildings on the bright and colorful Google bikes. There's also this fun little garden area where they have all of their Android guys made into big sculptures.
We jumped out to take some quick pictures and hop on the Google bikes before we were off to the airport.
I was sad that my time in Cali had ended so soon. It really didn't feel like I was in California because it really just felt like I was hanging out with my friends like I always do. These two always do fun things and I knew we would have had a great time doing anything. Christa and Paul- you are the best hosts ever and I promise to send you a package of Caribou coffee. Thank you for everything, love you both!
Unfortunately my flight was delayed a bit, which wouldn't have bothered me so much except that I had a connecting flight in L.A. before arriving in Phoenix. We thought I would be close to catching it, but just to be safe they booked me on a later flight too.
I swear I've never been so antsy to get off a plane. We must have been taxing in for 15 minutes. Luckily it looked like my flight here had also been delayed just 25 minutes and we were pretty close to that gate when we arrived. I ran through the airport all Home Alone-style (ok maybe not that dramatically, but I did run) and they were just calling my boarding zone as I got there. Whew!!!
I think I was the only happy person boarding because everyone else was grumbling about that delay.
I landed in even HOTTER Phoenix just around 8 pm and we made it back to my sister's apartment.
Getting settled in and enjoying a smoothie!
