Weekend Vacation

This past weekend we had tickets to go to the Culinary Festival in Scottsdale. My mom gave them to Jake for his birthday. Scottsdale is only about 25 minutes from us but we decided last minute to go stay the night and take a mini vacation. We stayed at The Saguaro which was right next to the festival. It was one of the most interesting hotels I've ever stayed in, and we had a great time! Here is our weekend documented in pictures.

We would have been fine sleeping out here






Distritos is the restaurant owned by Jose Garces and everything we had was delicious

These are for you mom!


It was a hot day! But we really enjoyed the festival. How it works is you buy tickets for a dollar each, like at a carnival, and each vendor has samples of their famous dishes for one or two tickets each. We had a lot of really yummy things to eat and liked being outside in the shade.


We didn't get a good picture of the two of us at the festival so we took one on Sunday. I think we'll probably go back next year, thanks for the tickets mom!

  1. The hotel looks awesome and the food looks delicious. You two should go down to Boulder City by in Nevada right by where we use to live over memorial weekend in May and do the Best Dam BBQ. It is pretty fun and they have bbq competitions and then you can try the some of the bbq. If you are looking for things to do.

  2. Beautiful place! Love the colors! You need to come back and stay for awhile :). Are those pictures? or postcards? on the wall? And bathrobes? Looks like quite a unique experience!
