Recently, my little brother came to visit from the far-away land of New York City. He's currently living there waiting tables, running into the cast of Saturday Night Live, working at a bookstore, reading a lot of David Sedaris, riding the subway and doing other equally glamorous and urban activities. We think he is awesome! He was only in Phoenix for about 48 hours but it was great to catch up with him. The first night he was here, we had dinner at The Parlor. If you have never been to this place, then you need to check it out! (okay so that was an unabashed plug for someone to come visit us!) I had butternut squash risotto that was absolutely fabulous. The next day, Lacey, Bille, Loghyn and Alando and I met for breakfast at a little place called Toast- a breakfast "boutique" so exclusive that apparently it has no website, but it does have high quality breakfast goodies. Next up? The Phoenix Zoo- to pay Dean a visit and to test our running skills. (See the video below) Overall it was a delightful weekend. Oh, and for the record, Alando highly recommends our guest suite (complete with Queen sized bed, pool view, and private bathroom) to others who may be interested in a short jaunt into the sunshine.
That's right, we raced small children to see who was almost as fast as a cheetah...and apparently the children won. Turns out I have quite a bit of conditioning to do. By the way, ignore the drug themed discussion at the beginning of the 2nd video, there was some PVC pipe on the ground and I always end up calling it the wrong thing.

Alando does have such the glamorous life. And this post has fully convinced me. Phoenix is our next vacation! We miss you guys.
You are wearing a tee shirt. This weekend I wore a down coat and boots, and was still freezing. I would be happy to visit you, if I could!
Taylor, seriously, I think that Phoenix is our next vacation spot too!
