Scottsdale



So - my sister has inspired me, and I'm off to start writing on this BLOG so her link won't be wasted on me.

I gotta say - I work an 8-5 job (at best, sometimes more), and I LIVE for the weekends and time off. So when one of my best friends KATE proposed a trip to Scottsdale to watch Spring Training (the Cubs vs. Padres), I jumped at it.

What a good time - Kate's boyfriend and friends rented a limo so we didn't have to worry about parking/drinking/driving, and the fun began. We watched the baseball game in 100 degree weather, drinking lovely cocktails, getting to know each other better (there was a group of 10 of us), then the limo picked us up and took us to a party at a mansion in the "mountains" (can you really call those little hills mountains? I suppose it's all comparable...)

After a few hours of meeting more people, eating the snacks, having more cocktails, the limo took us to downtown Scottsdale where we were in the thick of pubs/restaurants/clubs. It was St. Patrick's Day (uh - no one but Kate and I were wearing green?) and we began to wander the area for some great St. Patrick's Day parties - which we never found. But we found a great restaurant that also had a Karoake bar, so that is where we settled in for the night.

Good times, man...
