Our Weekend Getaway - Part II

We were so lucky to be able to stay at the Gainey house at the Hyatt hotel in Scottsdale. The event coordinator at Insight (Dan's work) was able to swing this for us. The casitas where we usually stay were being renovated, so Hyatt offered her this place for us to stay instead. Of course, she took it! It is actually a 2600 sq ft house on the edge of the property. The Gainey House sign - near the private drive.
This whole thing is the Gainey House. In a word... excessive.

Come in...
The Family Room. The couches were so comfy.
The Game room. We played a couple of rounds of pool. We quickly learned that BreAnn is actually a pool shark!!! She was smoking everyone!
All the bathrooms had sinks like this. They were really shallow square ones. You can't appreciate how long they are. It was hard for the kids to wash their hands in the running water. We'd let them splash in the water that accumulated in the sink.
The huge kitchen. The fridge and cupboards were stocked with food and drinks (all complimentary). I brought food for us too, so we had an abundance of food!


The Master bedroom. The pillows and bed was so nice and soft.
One side of the Master bathroom. The shower was Drew's favorite place to play. He could push the door open and he'd go in the shower and make noises. It had a really cool echo. Then he'd open the door, come out and shut it again. And then do it all over again, and again, and again. This was also his bedroom. We put his pack-n-play right next to the shower. Maybe that's how he discovered the cool echo.
Drew checking out the balcony on the roof.
BreAnn, Dan, and Allie hanging out on the roof balcony.
This was our view of the lake and the beach pool. The huge slide is inside that clock tower.
