Arizona Trip Pt 2

When we picked up the cruiser bikes from our friends, Vicki and Darrell, they were having a garage sale to benefit a local animal shelter.  We shopped a little and then took off.  Between the stranger's grapefruit donation ;) and the lemons that came from my dad's tree, we got our citrus fix for sure.  So good! 

Andrea and I always ask around to find the tastiest, most popular restaurants in town.  Exploring new restaurants is such a fun part of being on vacation!

This was the yummy birthday dessert at Olive & Ivy.  (Both years, we've gone right around the time of my birthday, and Andrea and I are captains of the free birthday dessert game.) 

Remember the awesome couple I mentioned before?  We got in touch beforehand and thought it would be fun to introduce my dad and Sandra to Vicki and Darrell this trip.  So we all met up at Olive and Ivy, the fun restaurant where we met last year.  Darrell works for Fox Concepts, the parent company of Olive and Ivy and some others we've learned about since.  (True Food in Denver is a tasty one, too!) 

After lunch, we walked around together and looked at lots of neat stuff under tents by the river.  I'm really glad that I got to visit Dad and Sandra (they're loving Scottsdale!) and also have a fun trip with a dear friend--a win-win.  Andrea and I treasure all of that rare quality time together!
