We flew into Phoenix this weekend. My oldest son asked for my IPhone as soon as we landed to see what the temperature was: 107 degrees. “Wow Mom, it’s three degrees hotter than when we left!” (He had checked when we got on the plane.) It has never hit 100 in Maryland - at least in his 6-year-old memory. It was an exciting moment in his life…although not as exciting as swimming all day with his Arizona cousins.

We are here for 10 days - with most of it spent in the White Mountains- three hours northeast of Phoenix, and about 25 degrees cooler…Much to my dismay: I LOVE THE HEAT.

On Tuesday, July 29th, I will be filming a spot on SwimmingWorld TV here in Phoenix - which is exciting! I will post the date/time it will be on as soon as I know.

Thanks for reading!
