My husband bought me an LSU sweatshirt to replace my old one so I'm all set. Bought a clear plastic stadium purse and put LSU letters on it. Getting excited!

Hope you enjoy your time here.

Good news...even though the temps will be cooler...I don't see any rain in the forecast and it should be pretty sunny during the day. Dress appropriately and it will be perfect weather on a gorgeous sunny day

Also I just posted this on the OT about what to do in Scottdale...figure I'll copy and paste it for yall...


Restaurants:

The Mission
Citizen Public House(get the chopped salad)
Rancho Pinot
OHSO Brewery
Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers
Tortilla Factory
Cafe Monarch(fine dining but amazing food)
Craft 64 (wood fired pizza place with local craft beers)
Culinary Dropout(get the pretzel balls)
Postino's
Rehab Burger Therapy


Things to do:
Talking Stick Resort and Casino
Top Golf
Spas(Scottsdale has the most destination spas per capita of of any city in the US)
Golf
Comedy clubs (Stand Up Live, Tempe Improv, Rick Bronson's House of Comedy,etc)
Bar hopping in Old Town Scottsdale
Isky(indoor sky diving)
Octane(high speed indoor go kart racing...also has virtual reality stuff there)
Desert Botanical Gardens(if you like that kind of stuff)
Odysea Aquarium(if you got kids)
Butterfly Wonderland(kids and anyone that really loves butterflies cause it is the largest butterfly enclosure in the US)
Dave & Busters at DesertRidge, Westgate, and Tempe Marketplace (and you won't get shot if you go to one of these)
Musical Instrument Museum (never been but heard this is legit if you are into musical instruments..it is the largest museum of its type in the world)
Horseback riding tours
Hot air balloon rides



Shopping:
Scottsdale Fashion Square
The Quarter
Kierland Commons

Hiking:

Camelback already mentioned...however...I personally am not a fan. It is always an absolute nightmare to park there and always packed with people. And I hate scrambling up and down all the boulders on this trail.

Squaw Peak is better imo
Tom's Thumb trail
Gateway Loop
South Mountain(Mormon trail to National Trail to Hidden Valley)...access trailhead at 24th street


Also...if you are staying long enough you should go up north for the day and check out Sedona or Flagstaff or Grand Canyon(GC is a 4 hour drive each way...so would be a long day). Worth the drive.

Nurse and 480 happy holidays

I had a choice to go to this game or a week cruise with the family. I chose the week cruise. Myself and the wife will be heading that way soon maybe Scottsdale then southern California and Vegas. Stay tuned

We're heading to Sedona the day after the game. I asked the question on the More Sports Board but haven't gotten an answer. How likely are we to buy Suns vs Warriors tickets on 12/31 at the venue? Or do you recommend buying them on StubHub?

Sorry I have no idea. I haven't been to a Suns game in years.

And considering how horrible they have been the past couple years...this answer is true for many people in PHX

I’m here and at The Saguaro. Getting ready to head out and find a good place to eat, drink and watch some football. Thinking about walking over to Old Town Gringos.

Nurse, I really like it. Best thing is I don’t have to drive anywhere and the Arizona Canal Trail is a nice for running as well as through Old Town.

There are also those electric scooters you have likely seen everywhere that you can rent with an app on your phone. And the golf cart taxis(bring cash for them).

Watch out though...you can actually get a DUI on those scooters.
