Joshie & Chole loving life
Isaac & my silly face
Chlomonksupial - I loved her clinging on!
(not angry, she was just over the flash of the camera, so she closed her eyes)
We headed out there & I worked while Josh hung out with McCall. He put her hair in rag curlers & I got all super model with it (I think she looked oto sexy b/c Deb took it out & put it in lame poof pony tails before we went over to Dave & Koren's, but here's a pic).
McCall's hair was righteous - wish I could pull that off. Only her & African super models!
We had the greatest dining experience ever, no joke. If anyone is ever in or near Scottsdale, check it out: Digestif
We sat at the bar (which was 1/3 of the total 25-30 seats in the whole place, so it's cozy) and chatted with the chef while he served a taster, which basically is a several-course meal that he splits between you & your date/friend/whatev and tells you what everything is. So great, our 8-courses (b/c I can't say no to food). Drum roll, please...
Dungeness Crab & Watermelon
Burrata
Shrimp Ceviche
Grilled Flank Steak w/Sweet Corn Relish
Mac N Cheese for Adults
Butter-basted Wild-caught Halibut
Warm Cookies & Milk
Banana Bread w/a White Choc Banana Sauce
Their menu changes every week depending on what's available from the market & it's all great. I loved every moment (of our 2.5 hr experience). In fact, we loved it so much we've already made plans with a couple of friends who will coincidentally be there for Labor Day weekend as well. Can't wait! We'll have to document it next time - I am ashamed that we forgot to the first time, but it took us by surprise with how great it was!
Dr. David (Josh's bro) hooked it up with hour long massages at his office, which was the greatest massage I've ever had. Most likey another tradition for Phoenix trips :)
We crammed in more fun on our last day there. Drove up to Payson to do some hiking, rock-climbing & cliff jumping. Believe it or not, I jumped off a rock that was probably 55-60 feet high into water. I was so proud of myself! I was shaking at the top, so I just did it. Dave's friend who acme with us totally wussed out & I was the first one to do it. So rad. I only felt like I broke my nose off, and I was still shaking for next hour, but I think I could get myself to do it again sometime. Another tradition in the making - who knew AZ could be so much fun?! Still no desire to move out there, but I think we might make more frequent road trips!!
And after the cliff diving, we jammed back to Scottsdale to go out karoaking with Deb & friend. Much fun as we laughed at everyone & the girls stayed & sang with everyone at the table & the boys rocked their stuff with the microphone.
Josh finally got to do karaoke - he's been trying to make that happen for months!
Wish I had more pics of our fun times, but we forget the camera too many times - that's also Josh's responsibility ;)
Thanks to Deb, Dave & Koren for a fun time! Ready for the next adventure!
Also signed up for the PF Chang's Rock N Roll Marathon in Phoenix in January - everyone's invited!
