last week we had our girls trip. we went to scottsdale again and had a wonderful time (except for the hotel. the hotel wasnt so hot). the first night there we shopped at fashion square.



after shopping, we went to our faaaaaavorite mexican restaurant, blanco. everything they serve is fabulous but the cheese crisp and the sundae are the best.



the next day we laid out by the pool (again, the hotel was pretty crappy so we didnt do too much lounging. kind of a bummer) then went to chick-fil-a for lunch. i was just a little bit excited to be eating there.
as if we werent stuffed up to our eyeballs from lunch, we drove over to bahama bucks. that place is out of this world. especially when you ask for two dollars worth of extra cream to pour on top of your shave ice.
we decided we needed to scout out a new hotel for next year. we found it!
we loved walking around the grounds of this beautiful hotel but were a little depressed that we had to go back to our flea bag for the night. :)
i look like a complete idiot in this picture. trying way too hard. but i wasnt really feeling my dress so i was trying to over compensate. besides my annoying pose, my mom and aunts are beautiful.
that night we had dinner (if you can even call it that. it was more of a life changing experience than just a meal) at culinary dropout. it was insaaaaaaaaaaaanely good.
so much so, that we went back the next day for lunch! :) they are known for their soft pretzels & provolone fondue which are completley delicious. we also loved their house potato chips & famous onion dip and.....
salted caramel pudding with caramel corn on top. love.
dont worry though, we somehow managed to still have room for paradise bakery cookies for our drive out to the boulders (a resort right outside of scottsdale).
we decided we needed a few pictures of us out there. so we prepped.
once we were all feeling pretty again, i set up THE most precarious camera stand ever. a phone on top of a cross body bag (held up by sunglasses) on top of a handbag on top of grass.
we all thought it was pretty funny/dumb.
one last shot of us in the desert.
at the gift shop i found these super cute scorpions for tagg and sully. i thought they would enjoy a picture of their guys on a spiky cactus.
before we flew home, we ate at blanco one last time. i love spending time with my mom and aunts. always a good time.
