Lazy Lather, Rinse, Repeat. This Time With a Hot Tub.
Phoenix Weekend Travelog #5
Back at the hotel - Sat, 11 May 2024, 9pm
Today has been another lazy day like yesterday. Lazy Lather, Rinse, Repeat! But not exactly like yesterday. Yesterday I griped that I didn't start the day with a soak in the hot tub. Well, today I hit the hot tub around 7am and enjoyed a good, long dip.
Once again today we went out to the main waterpark at its 9am opening. We even snagged the same four lounge chairs in the shade next to the lazy river as yesterday. How's that for lazy lather, rinse, repeat? 🤣
Today, though, instead of taking a break around 11am to go out for lunch we stayed in the waterpark and ordered food from the cafe. Oh my, the prices were high. $20 for a chicken quesadilla wasn't so bad, but the drinks were ridiculous. $7.50 for a cup of soda. I figured, "Hey, for $4 more I can have a beer!" so I drank an $11.50 beer. 😅
Today my father-in-law joined us in the lazy river for a few laps. He's been reluctant to go in the water because he has a situation with his ear and can't get it wet. I don't want to presume too much, but is an earplug a possibility? A bathing cap? Anyway, he joined us for a few laps without ear protection. Then he climbed back onto his lounge chair and realized he'd forgotten to take his phone out of his pocket. It still worked just fine!
We took a break back in our rooms before dinner then went out to a local pizzeria near ASU campus. MIL and I split a pizza, Hawk got a plate of pasta with butter sauce (a comfort-food favorite), and FIL got a calzone that was unexpectedly huge. MIL and I both ate part of it, and there were still enough leftovers for him to take back to the hotel for breakfast tomorrow.
Now we're back at the hotel for the evening. I'm considering whether to go out to the hot tub for an evening soak, a bookend to the morning's hot tub soak. Enh, I think I'm feeling a little too lazy for that. Tomorrow is still another day... though tomorrow is also when we have to go home!
