Well, obviously my plan of live blogging my trip to Phoenix didn't work out, but that's okay, the semi-break from the internet was nice. Overall the trip was fun and felt great to get out of NYC for a week, but I was pretty sad that it was basically the exact temperature there it was in NYC the whole time, and then quickly sprang back to 90 the day we left. My swimsuit sat in my bag with a sad face. But it's safe to say that I saw some of the most incredible scenery of my life in Arizona, especially when we drove a few hours up to Jerome - this tiny little down on the side of a rocky mountain, with crazy beautiful views of Sedona. I think next time we go I definitely want the trip to be longer so we can fit in more time for day trips like that, as that ended up being the only scenic trip we took. It's hard to fit things in on a roughly 4 day trip to see people you haven't seen in two years!

Also, all Bits Of My Weekend and this post have clickable photos from now on that lead to the flickr page of each photo. I get asked often about specifics of each photo and it's hard to fit that all in on each post! It's like a behind the scenes look. Yeah, I'm that cool with the internets like that.

Such fantastic photos. And I love the daring lipstick color -- I so wish I could pull that off. Hope you got to see some of those amazing Arizona night skies -- I'm not sure what the light pollution is like in Phoenix, but the stars were so easy to see from Flagstaff when I was there this summer.

Jerome, In-n-Out even the Courtesy Chevrolet on Camelback down the street from my Grandparents home. Ahhh, you're making me homesick.

On a side note, my mom emailed and smugly pointed out the weather for this week.

Gosh sometimes I miss AZ.

How fun! I roadtripped around the Southwest in September, and had a great time exploring Jerome. If you and Billy head back Phoenix, I really recommend driving out to Marfa, TX. It's a crazy long drive through empty West Texas, but is so freaking cool and worth it. You would love it!
