Monday Night Football in Arizona

After our tour of ASU
I don't think this ever gets old!
The boys loved playing outdoor lawn chess
Brotherly love!
This is how I enjoy the pool!

We toured Chase field where the

Diamondbacks play.

Stayed at the Arizona Biltmore. What a neat place!

Monday Night Football. Cardinals scored again!

What a fun night!

We took a trip to Phoenix for Veteran's Day Weekend. What a great four days! Chad's favorite football team is the Cardinals, so it was fitting that we go to a Cardinal game for Monday Night Football! We arrived in Phoenix on Saturday morning, took a two hour tour of ASU, then headed for the Biltmore to check in. What a gorgeous hotel. The weather was gorgeous so we hung out at the pool and then spent the rest of the day checking out downtown. Sunday started with brunch and then we stayed on the hotel grounds most of the day. There was so much to do. On Monday, we had a tour of Chase field where the Diamondbacks play. Then we went across the street to see where the Suns play, then had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. That evening we headed over to watch the Cardinals play. We had tickets on the 30 yard line, 7th row. It was so much fun. Phoenix fans are crazy! It was an amazing game as they won in the last 2 seconds. Awesome way to end the trip!
