Blast From the Past! 2008 Phoenix Trip

Here's another oldie from my myspace blog. This was my most spontaneous trip ever. Only two weeks notice on this one - and it was an absolutely fabulous trip. Just what the doctor ordered!

On January 6 I decided it would be nice to get out of Oregon for a while. January 19 I was on a plane! 


Again, I was back in Phoenix, Arizona. Basking in the warmth of the sunshine, enjoying the peace of the desert, sipping on margaritas and sending fake drunk texts!

On one of our firsts trips out we saw them setting up for the Super Bowl.


But I was way more interested in our destination .... MARGARITAVILLE!


I had a delicious lunch!


And more important ... yummy margaritas!


Next we went shopping in Tempe. Mike was excited about the bath house advertisement!


On the way home we saw some trashy  wedding receptions in a park. They had freaking pinatas! And crepe paper.  I do not lie.

But we also saw this....


And this ....


At this point you should see pictures of us out dancing and drinking.
Instead, you will see this ..... the flowers Clark had set up in my room.
Yes, that's right ... we did NOT go out!
Instead, we stayed in. Enjoyed some Sonic milkshakes and the Godfather!


The next day Clark, Mike and I set out for My Florist for lunch. We were lucky enough to be joined by Sara, too!


Our next destination was sooooo cool!!!  We went to the Arizona Science Center to see the Titanic Artifact Exhibit.


They don't allow photography inside the exhibit, so this was all I was able to snap a shot of.


Sara and I totally got our science geek on inside, and had an absolute blast! It was truly one of the most fascinating, if not the most fascinating thing I have ever been able to see!  (And lets just not talk about how much I bought in the gift shop!!)


After Titanic we hurried home for a quick costume change. Next on our schedule --- Horseback riding!

We dubbed it the Brokeback Mountain part of our weekend (little did we know one of our own dear cowboys would pass away in 2 days )


I had fun in the backseat of the car taking pictures --- and looking at a dead guy on the sidewalk. Yes. That's what I said. Dead. Guy. On. The. Sidewalk.


This was my horse, Remmy!


My gay cowboys looked super hot!


Yeehaw! We were ready to ride!



 


 
We were riding off into the sunset.







At the top of the mountain, this was our view!


The sun began to go down pretty fast, and it was a breathtaking sight!


We tied up our horses and went into the T-Bone Steakhouse for dinner and dessert.


Hm, maybe the dessert wasn't such a good idea --- as I try to hoist myself back up on my horse!


The ride back to the stables was in complete darkness. Very cool and Very peaceful!


The day was not yet done. Oh  no!


We went back to my favorite leather bar, where I got quite an education in bandannas, colors, sides .... don't ask. It was totally rad!!

Then we finished off the night playing in a gigantic porn shop!




I had to teach the boys about the wall of girly toys.


No, you dirty pervs .... we didn't buy anything.


Sadly, all great things come to an end.  At least I didn't cry! Close! But not quite. I was a big girl!




And that's all for now.
Who knows, I might be back there again in 3 weeks. Maybe 3 months. But I WILL be back!
