Ladies only

It goes beyond words how happy I was to be able to spend four days with one of my dearest and 

long-time friends ever!  A few weeks ago, I went to visit Kat (pictured below, middle) in Arizona.  We had a blast, as she whisked me to breakfast, shopping, and several happy hours!  We also got our fit on in between it all, with one morning of NTC (Nike Training Club) and

 another on a hike at South Mountain Park and Preserve.  

The quality of the images is not so great, as these were all taken with my phone.

This picture was snapped on my last night at 

Caffe Boa, in Tempe, AZ., before we headed to El Hefe's.  

The food and service here were excellent!

 First stop, Postino!  Such yummy bruschetta!

The happy hour deals were amazing!

And oh so delicious!

The next afternoon, after shopping and lounging, found us at Olive & Ivy!

After which we walked over the the other side of the Arizona Canal to continue the fun at 

Tapas Papas Fritas!  I didn't take any pictures other than this shot between the trees of the 

outdoor seating area, where we wined and dined.  The food was delicious and the service terrific!

Leo had warmed up to me by then, and let me snap this shot of him relaxing.

On Saturday after our hike, we headed to Morning Glory Cafe on the Farm at South Mountain.  It was just what we needed after our early morning hike in the sun!

On my last night, we kicked it up a notch as far as the atmosphere, and headed over to South Mill in the midst of the ASU area, and hung out with the college kids.  We were reliving our younger youth, by having a shot then giant margaritas at El Hefe!

The tacos were tasty too!
