After an easy 6 hour drive, we made it to our destination! This is by far our favorite hotel, and we were eager to start our vacation of relaxation!
Here we are, finally in the pool! We were pretty much the only people there, besides a couple small families, including the lovely little girl in the background of our picture. The weather was perfect for swimming and laying out! We couldn't have asked for better!
Jerome spent most of the next 3 days in this exact spot. His idea of heaven!
One of our favorite things about the Four Seasons is there chips and salsa. It is absolutely some of the best salsa we have ever had. I would buy it in bulk if they sold it in jars. We also had some delicious drinks, including my new favorite: the "Los Angeles", which was a mix of Absolut L.A Vodka (I'd never even heard of this vodka before), muddled blueberries, soda and a lime. It was amazing! It was light and refreshing, and you couldn't taste the alcohol!
The Four Seasons sent us house made truffles and a bottle of champagne to toast our 5th anniversary! Yet another reason why their service is second to none!
We always see and array of lizards on the resort property, but this time we were graced with the presence of frogs. They were so cool!
I get really hot at night when I sleep. At home, I must have a fan blowing directly on me at all times, otherwise I just cant seem to sleep. To combat this problem, Jerome and I moved the hotel bed so it would be directly under the ceiling fan and in direct view of the a/c vent.
It worked wonders!
On our actual anniversary, we spent took a day trip to Prescott and Jerome, Arizona. Prescott was only a little over an hour away. The ride was very picturesque, despite the giant crack in my wind shield that resulted from a combination of a rock that hit the window on the freeway and the 100+ degree heat, which caused the little chip to turn into a giant crack. We didn't really know what to expect in Prescott, but I'm happy to report it was a cute little town with lots of antique shops and a cute town square. It was definitely right up Jerome's parent's alley (they love antique shopping).
Here is a picture of Jerome in front of a statue in the town square.
Here is me in front of the courthouse in Prescott.
Another hour down the road, we made it to the town of Jerome. As a kid, Jerome and his family had come here when his Grandmother Hannon was living in nearby Chino Valley. We had been planning to come check it out on every trip we've made to Arizona, but never did. This trip, we decided we would go ahead and make the journey. The town of Jerome is actually an old mining town on the side of Mingus Mountain. It is literally "falling" off the side of the mountain. There isn't much to see there, but we enjoyed the spectacle of everything being named Jerome, especially since it's a name you don't often see!
Here's Jerome in front of the post office.
This sign definitely sums both Jerome's (the town and the Boroff).
Here we are on our patio, about to head out on our anniversary date.
We're enjoying our delicious dinner at Fleming's Prime Steak House. We go there every year, but this year the service and food was by far the best! We had a fabulous time!
Here I am, enjoying the summer sun! Pure bliss!
The summer monsoon season has begun! Although the skies looked ominous at times, we barely got any storms during our stay. This is nothing compared to last year's "storm of the century" we encountered. Never the less, it makes for a beautiful sky!
A gorgeous sunset on our last night! We love the views and look forward to seeing them again soon!
