Jesse & I headed down to Phoenix, AZ this weekend to celebrate Matt & Liz's wedding. It was our first visit to the Southwest, and we were really looking forward to seeing some old friends and warm, sunny weather.
The rehearsal dinner was held at Matt & Liz's house in Glendale. They have a beautiful home that Matt purchased after selling his condo in Seattle. For the sale price of a 1 bedrooom condo in Seattle, you can buy a 3-bd 2ba house with pool, hot tub, and lots of living space.
I'm looking *just a little* bloated in this picture. Jesse looked very handsome, but his rental tux was a bit too big for him, so together we both look like football players!
Our last day in town, we walked around Tempe near the ASU campus, then headed up to Scottsdale to check out the Old Town and try to find some authentic Southwestern cuisine. The closest thing we found was taco bell and baja fresh, so we asked the local tourist booth for some recommendations. She pointed us to the oldest Mexican restaurant in town, which serves up simple, authentic dishes prepared with ultra-fresh ingredients. It was very good, but didn't seem any different than a Mexican restaurant you'd find up in Seattle.
No rattlesnake fillets for us this time..they must have let this one go right near our villa!
