Adam, Michael & I stayed in Bisbee over the weekend. We are making this a tradition (to go around this time each year) as it's brought great luck to us! Last year, the night prior to leaving for our trip we had found out that we had become a certified couple to adopt. This year we received Michael's birth certificate (the night prior), which was something that I needed to feel complete in our adoption journey. Adam wanted to journey on his motorcycle, so Michael & I followed closely behind. A few nights prior to leaving Adam made homemade lasagna (with his own homemade sauce too) & froze it so we could eat well!
We stayed at the Eldorado Suites Hotel, which is where we stayed last year & fell in love with it! The hotel was built in 1914, & was Arizona's first apartment complex @ that time. It's got such a quaint homey feeling & reminds me of my little apartments back home in NW Portland. The owners & employees are so warm & welcoming (go figure, it's part of the hospitality I suppose), they always go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.
