Happy New Years Eve Eve!

After a noisy night, Tim and I woke up in the Scottsdale desert surrounded by rain puddles.  The storms that soaked California  yesterday tore through Arizona.  We were both woken up last night by a blinding flash of lightening that was followed within milliseconds by a loud crack of thunder.  Judging by the time [...]

We were not to be disappointed.  Down the street from Parliament, we found the The Oyster.  Here we sat down for Victoria’s best deal – A Buck a Shuck for 12 delicious slippery sliders.  It was a perfect intro to the town.
