Hot to Go in Scottsdale

When Chappel Roan sings about 199 degrees, I believe she’s been to Scottsdale, Arizona. This weekend I traveled there for a girl’s trip and experienced this dry heat firsthand. Imagine you are in a sauna but also you have a hair dryer being blown directly in your face.  

Along with being greeted by the hot weather, we were welcomed to Scottsdale at our VRBO Dreamhouse. The house was a Barbie themed oasis for bachelorette parties and girl trips. Blush and bashful were the décor choices for everything. The silverware, couches, Keurig, and pillows were all pink. There was even a separate room for photo opportunities in a human sized Barbie Box. This was hilarious to our group of mid-40-year-old women.

The five of us have been friends for as long as I can remember…. puberty, high school, college, marriages, divorces, babies, dogs and deaths. We’ve been through it all. But, if this group knows anything it’s how to party.  Our high school and college times together were epic. There were so many clubs, parties, boys and “stages” to recall.  Now that we are a bit older, we realize hangovers aren’t awesome and it’s best to remember conversations with your good friends you never get to see.  Don’t get me wrong, we still have fun!

We saw Kacey Musgraves in concert

Ate at amazing restaurants:

• The Montauk

• SumoMaya

• AZ99

Getting out of town is what everyone needed. Reconnecting and sharing life’s ups and downs. It’s better and cheaper than therapy. We were definitely hot to go in Scottsdale but some of it may have been hot flashes. Cheers to middle age!
