Happy Hump Day!!

Even though none of you are enjoying the Arizona sun like we are, it is hump day.  Only 2 more work days till Friday!  And better yet, less than 24 hours until we are home!  We are torn about leaving, since it`s always nice to get home but with home comes reality.....and work......  :(

Today we ventured out to Scottsdale to check out Old Town Scottsdale.  It is a very cute and quaint area which is reminiscent of the old west with a new school flare.  There are some great restaurants, a beautiful park and many cute shops nestled in a few blocks.

What!? A big boot and bell?  Can you say, HELLO photo op!!??

We wandered around Old Town Scottsdale, and visited with some of the locals.  Trent enjoyed the company and a few stories and many laughs......

While Trent was busy laughing and enjoying stories of the old days, I was looking to hook up with some Arizona strange..........

After enjoying the locals and visiting some cool shops, we worked up an appetite.  There were so many restaurants to choose from, but after reading all the menus, we settled on Cien Agaves.  Since we don't have any good Mexicali restaurants in Vernon, this has been our cuisine of choice.  Were we EVER glad we chose to eat there!  We started with guacamole, chips and green and regular salsa.  I had 2 tacos with beans and Trent had 3 tacos with beans and rice.  Sooo good.  I chose 1 salmon taco and 1 ono taco while Trent's were shredded beef, seared ahi tuna and grilled chicken.  We also had sangria - Trent 1 big glass and me, 2 big glasses.  Yup - eating and drinking again!  Yeehaw holidays!  After leaving a tad on the tipsy side, I posed for yet another photo op......

Yummy food & drinks!!!

After lunch I got a little prick and NOT from Arizona Charlie!!!

We left Old Town Scottsdale and headed back to our condo.  On the way, we decided to take a drive by the posh Arizona Biltmore Hotel.  The area is RIDICULOUS.  The multi million dollar estates are breathtaking.  The fountains and green space is VERY unique.  We even saw some orange trees!

After our drive around, we headed back to the condo to get everything packed up.  We are very close to being overweight on our luggage, but we have an extra duffel bag just in case.  Pretty sure Trent's hot sauce is throwing us over.........

We headed out to the Phoenix Public Market at about 4:00.  It was an......interesting.......market to say the least. It was in the projects and there were only about 8 vendors.  I was a little worried to take a picture.  So no photos....sorry!  After the quick jaunt throught the market, we headed back to the condo to finish packing up and relax.   We are probably heading to bed soon since we fly out at 7:00 am (6:00 am our time).  I think we will be getting up around 3:00 our time.  Yippee....so till next time!!!

I will post about our happy travels once we are home!  Take care and luv luv to all!  And to all a good night!!
