We took our annual trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa last weekend! The trip there was somewhat manageable. We decided to try driving to the airport and parking, which ended up being super easy. I went through security with the kids while Greg ditched the car.
With plenty of time to spare, we headed to Chili’s for dinner. Joey loved singing the “Chili’s Baby back Ribs” song to anyone who would listen.
We set ourselves up nicely in the bulkhead…
Joey watched his iPad the entire time, while Benji ran up and down the isles and ate way too much junk food.
With the kids being older, we were really able to enjoy the pool and all that AZ has to offer! We arrived just in time for dinner and between courses, the kids took a dip! Surprise, surprise, Benji jumped right in!
Joey needed a few minutes to get comfortable but loved the water once he got used to it!
Look who got caught!
Early the next morning, the Goodman Men enjoyed a bowl of cereal together…
Off to the train museum. Joey had a blast here last year and we knew he’d enjoy it even more this trip.
Family train ride
Carousel
We completely missed the best part of the park last year…There’s a train museum that Joey could have spent days in!
Chasing Percy
Benji loved chasing the trains on the track hanging from the ceiling.
Afternoon dip!
The next day we checked out the Children’s Museum. The kids had a blast here! With tons of car and climbing exhibits, the kids were thrilled!

The following day we checked out yet another museum. This one had a toddler side and an arts-focused side. The kids enjoyed both equally…
Robot exhibit
Making a robot movie on the green screen
Check out his handmade robot!
Adult night out!
The kids were not happy to be heading home. Benji was a handful + on the plane ride home…
Fortunately, Joey soon fell asleep…
Not that it mattered much…
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for such a fabulous week!
Looks like you had a great time!
