Stephanie Visit - March 2018

Old Town Scottsdale

We were excited to have Stephanie fly in from North Carolina for a weekend.  She arrived on the Wednesday night.  Keith was in Vegas for work so Shawna picked her up at the airport.  Steph stayed one night and then borrowed the 4Runner to visit Leah in Tucson for a couple of days.  She arrived back at Chez Dodds on Saturday day so we could start the weekend.

Lost Dog Wash Hike

Steph got to the house at about 10:30 or so on Saturday.  We chatted a bit, then Shawna made a salad with shrimp for lunch which we ate with a bottle of wine on the patio - it was a beautiful day.  That afternoon we drove to the Royal Palms for an afternoon treat.  First stop was a dip in their pool with a glass of wine, followed by massages for all three of us.  Very relaxing afternoon!  Dinner that evening was at Citizen Public House, where we shared burrata, bacon jam and smoked salmon salad for appetizers and then shared the short ribs for an entree.  It was early to bed after all that wine!

Dinner at Citizen Public House

On Sunday, we relaxed at home with coffee and Shawna's breakfast of chorizo and egg tostadas.  It was then off to do a 3 mile hike at Lost Dog Wash - pretty but just undulating.  We came back to the house for a shower and an amazing lunch of cheese and wine on the patio - quite elegant!  The afternoon event was Top Golf which Steph had not done before.  We got in a couple of rounds.  The original plan was to go out for dinner but we were all total stuffed, so we bagged the dinner, ordered in PF Changs, and rented Justice League on apple TV!

Keith had to be at the airport early Monday am to fly to NorCal, so Shawna was able to drop her off Monday between calls.  It was super to see Steph!
