Bisbee and 31 Weeks Just Around the Corner

Friday night Drew and I left work early and headed to Bisbee for a last chance getaway/late Valentine's celebration. Drew made reservations for us to stay at the Shady Dell RV Park. At the risk of hyperbole, this place is brilliant. The owners of the Shady Dell have assembled a troop of vintage 1950s trailers and fixed them up while retaining a 50s charm. Drew and I did not stay in a trailer, however. Rather Drew reserved the Rita D., a 1950s Chris Craft yacht that was renovated and converted into desert lodging. It was pretty sweet staying here for the night.

The Rita D.


Here is a picture of the breakfast nook. Drew and I sat here and played Carcassonne, which was given to us by Lisa, Ken and Katie and is currently my favorite game. I love that Drew and I can play without getting mad at each other. This is unlike our previous favorite game 'Killer Bunnies', which is hard on couples and should only be played with groups of 4 or more.

The Kitchen.


Me as the ship captain.


The back deck.


The living room on the boat.


I was shocked to see this picture. I still feel like 'me' most of the time so it is bizarre to see a picture where my belly is so huge. I guess that explains the back pain.


The Shady Dell also includes some larger trailers. This is the only one with a shower and it is referred to as the Mansion.


We almost stayed here in the Tiki Bus. The Rita D. won because it included a free bottle of Champagne that we took with us to drink after the baby is born.


The other Bisbee highlights included dinner at Cafe Roka and hanging out at the 'Saloon'. I drank Beck's near beer and was pleased that when given a beer taste test, Drew couldn't distinguish near bear from Miller Lite.

Anyway, on Tuesday I have another doctor's appointment and next Wednesday I hit the 31 week mark. Everything is pretty much moving along normally so hopefully that will continue. The baby is moving around a lot and so far his most active times seem to be between 4 and 5am (yikes!), 7 and 8am, dinner time and between 9 and 10pm. The baby books say that by now this will correlate with his epochs of high activity after he is born. That is a little scary but I guess no one has a baby because they want to sleep more.
