Ladies' Phoenix Getaway

My MIL's birthday was this past weekend and to celebrate the milestone, she, my three sister-in-laws and I went to Phoenix for 4 days.  It was a extended weekend full of fun, shopping, laughing and dining in the 106 degree fahrenheit Arizona heat.  I could easily spend more time (and money) there.  Some highlights included a pedicure that included a hot stone massage, a 'raw earth' treatment, soothing leg mask, paraffin wax among some other treatments during the almost 2 hours - all for $55! A giddy late supper at the Melting Pot (a great fondue restaurant), 75% off at Ann Taylor and a movie experience like no other at ipic theatres. Reclining seats, fuzzy blankets, pillow, wine, food and popcorn delivered to your seat.  Such a great idea and so civilized.  Now to convince Todd to buy a place down there.

Some birds native to Arizona.  They looked like road-runners.
