Day 1 with my day 1 (@ Innings Fest<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"airplane<\/p>\n

SAN \u2192 PHX<\/p>\n

I thought the flight was nearly 2 hours bc of our arrival time, but I forgot Phoenix doesn’t observe Daylight Savings, so we were up and back on the ground within 40 minutes. It was like flying to Vegas –  I barely got through one ep of Love Is Blind <\/em>and we didn’t get beverage service \ud83d\ude05 Luckily, the new terminal at SD airport has a Better Buzz<\/a>, and I got an iced coffee before our flight. You guys, you will never catch me raw dogging<\/a> a flight, no matter how short it is.<\/p>\n

The Canopy by Hilton Hotel<\/a> in downtown Tempe is totally my stee – concrete floors, mid-century modern furniture, allows dogs… very happy with my stay here and will def be back!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve had Mister Pio<\/a> on my list ever since Eater named it one of the Best New Restaurants in America<\/a>. There’s this Peruvian spot<\/a> I miss eating at in LA, and this place def satisfied that craving. I wish they had plantains, though!<\/p>\n

Our server was super attentive and the music was even better – Tame Impala, Muse, Radiohead – Not even their hits, but obscure tracks. Like, if you want to get in my pants, just say so \ud83d\ude06 Even Pammie was like, ‘Is this your playlist?’<\/p>\n

\"beg<\/p>\n

We were craving dessert after, so Pammie’s gluten\/dairy-free ass took us to this vegan bakery<\/a> in Scottsdale.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I made her take me to Crumbl<\/a> after, so I could get some normal dessert \ud83c\udf6a<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I burned off an eighth of that gigantic s’mores cookie by taking a very short hike up this sandstone formation in Papago Park<\/a>. Hundreds of people had the same idea, but the view was spectacular.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Are desert sunsets better than ocean sunsets??? \ud83c\udfdc\ufe0f (@ Hole in the Rock<\/a>)<\/p>\n
