My trip out west…

This past weekend I took a trip out to Casa Grande, AZ to visit my good friend Steve.  The entire trip was amazing.  Friday evening I got in at Sky Harbor Airport and we took off to Tempe for dinner at Rula Bula.  I must say that it is an interesting name for an Irish Pub and Restaurant, but the food was amazing.  After dinner we headed to IKEA to pick up a stove for Steve’s kitchen in the house he just bought.  The night ended with drinks at the Airport Tavern in Casa Grande - a total biker bar with cheap longnecks, awesome :)

Saturday was spent shopping and seeing all of the new development in CG since my last visit in January.  The city is growing rapidly and I was quite impressed.  We ended the day going to see the Pineapple Express and staying up all night watching movies and drinking - a great day :)

Sunday morning was spent at Dell’s watching the Jets game and enjoying beer & pizza.  That afternoon we traveled down to Tucson to kill time before heading back home for the night.

Monday was low key as I ended up napping most of the day while Steve was at work.  He is a teacher and I value the importance he places on his job, despite how much the education system in Arizona is screwed up.

The trip came to end on Tuesday as I flew back to Elmira and cursed US Airways the entire way.  More on that in another post, it was a nightmare!

Overall, it was a great, albiet short, trip out west to visit a good friend and spend time away from the everyday.  I was even successful in getting Steve to use Twitter more and got him setup with Brightkite now too :)

Cheers!
