Things To Do
Tom's Thumb Trailhead
If you look reeeally closely at the image above, you'll see Pat and I at the top of this mountain!:) If you're looking for a good hike, Tom's thumb is super close to the hotels and is so much fun. This is actually the hike we did when Pat asked me to be his girlfriend!
Scottsdale Quarter
Want to shop til you drop? This trendy, open-air shopping center offers gourmet eateries, a kids' splash fountain & more. We love grabbing dinner at the restaurants (listed below) here, and walking around at night. The weather should be perfect in late April. :)
Culinary Drop Out
You can't go wrong with Culinary Drop out. They have an amazing outdoor area with fun outside games and a great atmosphere. Their food also matches the great vibes - if you're looking to indulge you've gotta try their cheesy pretzel app ;)
North Italia
We love love love North Italia! The most scrumptious Italian food. If you go, we recommend the chicken parm ;)
True Food Kitchen
Another one of our go-to's True Food has the healthiest dining options and we love all of their salads and bowls :)
The Mission
Looking for authentic yet fancy Mexican food? The Mission is absolutely delicious with an incredible atmoshere to match. They also have tableside guacamole which makes the experience that much more unique. Pat and Julie highly recommend.
Zinburger
Did you know that once upon a time, the bride worked here? She was a hostess at the Biltmore location back when she was in high school! They have the most amazing grass-fed burgers you're sure to enjoy. You know the food is good when you want to keep going back to a place you used to work at ;)
Scottsdale Bodi
Hoping to get a quick sweat in before the party begins? We love HIIT classes at Scottsdale Bodi! They're only 45 min long and help you feel your best. You can catch us here every Friday and Saturday. :)
The Madison
This is the brides favorite place to be every Sunday morning! It's an indoor spin class that is literally a "Party on a bike" hence the name ;) another great way to get your sweat on before the big party. We highly recommend DJ's classes, and your first class is free!
Pressed Juice
This is one of the brides favorite healthy dessert alternatives! It's ice cream made from all natural ingredients like dates, honey, etc. :)
