Desert dreams

The hubs and I visited my in-laws in Arizona for Thanksgiving. It was my first time in Phoenix/Scottsdale and I enjoyed cool weather and didn't suffer from dryness.




We had a lovely dinner, reconnected with family and made some new friends. Best of all, we got in a round of golf at Troon North, a Tom Weiskopf course. It was a great afternoon on the links with fantastic views of the desert and the resort community.

I didn't see a single lizard or coyote!

Three Monkeys

There is a hot new restaurant in Sacramento, CA, called Three Monkeys. Located just off the K Street Mall near 7th Street, it features an eclectic California menu which includes sushi.

My handsome husband and I found this by accident. We were on the way back from the IMAX theater when I noticed the sign on the mall. The entrance actually faces the outdoor ice rink that the City creates each winter.

We had sushi and seared Kobe beef. Both were excellent. More than excellent are the friendly and attentive staff.
