Arizona 2008

We just got back from Arizona and had an awesome vacation with friends from ASU. We rented a house that came with everything we could ever need: a fire pit, pool, spa, grill and close to downtown Scottsdale. Since all of us live in different parts of the country, we've been really good about meeting up every year for some fun. This year was truly the best yet!

Here are some pics and highlights of the weekend:

We visited ASU campus to see everything that has changed. It is amazing how much has been built on campus. Sadly, our favorite College Street Deli is now closed. However, one thing that hadn't changed in 10 years is Jerry from "Jerry's Drive-Thru Liquor". He was still there and looking as good as always. We couldn't resist taking a picture with him at the drive-thru window.


Ryan and Jason enjoyed a morning dip in the hot tub. Our backyard was so relaxing with an amazing, dramatic view of Camelback Mountain. There truly is something so peaceful about the desert.


Cheers to dinner at the Pink Taco.


What is a trip to the Devil's Martini without dancing with a random old man? This guy was hilarous and knew all the words to every song. We couldn't get enough of him all night long. Even the guys had to get a picture with him.



Kadie and I thought it would be hilarous to try and get everyone to play "Light as a feather, stiff as a board" when we got home. Sadly, didn't work quite how it used to.


One of our favorite activities of the weekend was sitting by the firepit. I've put one of these on my wish list for my next birthday.


On Sunday, Jason and I went to breakfast with Michelle and then got to see her place in Scottsdale. I loved being able to spend some time with her and meet her doggy, Sabo.


What a wonderful trip! Can't wait for next year. I'm voting for a tropical location.
