9:00am:
Wake up. Must...get...coffee....
9:30am:
Much better. After sipping a large coffee in the 89* weather, we head back to the room to get ready for the day.
10:00am:
Check out of the room and head to our first spot of the day. McDonald's! Why McDonald's may you ask? Well that is because this McDonald's is the only one in the world that does not have golden arches! I mean who knew? The reason they do not is because the city of Sedona thought that the golden arches would conflict with the backdrop of the beautiful red mountains. So McDonald's and Sedona settled on turquoise arches!
10:15am:
Head back into town. Hey look..it's a really cool candle store where the candles glow different colors when lit. Wait is this deja vu or have we already been here before? Must..purchase..more..candles...
12:30pm:
Fran and I are beyond starving because the peach and coffee I had at 9am is just not cutting it. We decide on the Wildflower Bread Company for lunch. Fresh Bread? Check. Cucumber salad that is beyond pathetic? Check. Same screaming children from the Mexican restaurant last night? Check. You cant make this stuff up.
1:00pm:
After debating if we should buy more candles, we decide that we need to save room for Last Chance and take off towards Phoenix.
3:30pm:
Phoenix, AZ
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! Someone turn the oven off! So its a very pleasant 112* outside when we step out of our vehicles. At least we can check in right away. Wait..what is this? You lost our reservation Best Western? And your elevators are out of order? Don't worry I'll just chill outside while you fix this little problem. OMGGGGGG its now 113*.
4:15pm:
Hell, Get Me Out of Here
Francine has this great idea about ditching the "normal" malls and heading straight towards the discount centers. Im all for a bargain, but a JCPennys Last Chance? I mean isn't their normal merchandise on it's last leg? Do I really need to go in with you? Can't I just wait in the car? OMGGGG its now 114*.
5:00pm:
So by now I've seen Neiman Marcus Last Chance, BeBe discount center, and a discount nail salon. "Wud u liiike "discount" crystal gel?"
5:15pm:
Giant garage sale store in the middle of this discount mall. Im talking a place where you can buy slot machines, Nestle strawberry syrup, and used/old Tampax. Fran, honestly?
6:00pm:
By this time Ive seen some serious contenders for MTV's 16/17/18 and Pregnant. Ive also seen the same amount of pretzel joints in this place. Im not even kidding. There must be 4 Auntie Annes and 6 Wetzel Pretzels.
6:15pm:
After bleaching my hands from any diseases I may have caught on this journey we decide to head back to our room because the large pretzel with cheese dip has left me starving.
7:30pm:
We pull up to this joint called Oregano's Pizza. Crazy amount of people waiting to eat at this joint. 45 minute wait to eat inside you say? Oh don't worry about it we can eat outside in the now 115* weather.
8:15pm:
At this point I have consumed: Deep fried ravioli stuffed with a jalapeno cheese, stuffed artichoke hearts, sweet potato fries, a HUGE salad, and cheesy garlic bread.
What is that you say? You have a large cookie plate smothered in ice cream? We will take one! Do you also happen to have a barf bag?
8:20pm:
Fran's mother: "I make pukeuppi in my pazooki". Classic.
8:30pm:
Our waiter Adam agreed to be our guest blogger for the day! Make sure you check out his video :)
8:45pm:
Driving down the ghetto streets of Phoenix, we spot a DRIVE THRU LIQUOR STORE!! None of us have ever seen anything like this! Wait, isn't that like an automatic DUI?!
9:30pm:
We decide that going clubbing in downtown Phoenix in the 135* weather may not be the best idea. Plus I mean I need to save energy for the 4 hour shopping spree that is "Nordstrom Last Chance".
Signing off from the weather of Hell,
Steph
