So I finally took the trip to Arizona. I went to Phoenix, Chandler, Tempe, Glendale, and Tucson all in one week. I enjoyed everything from the weather, cities, towns, to the place where i stayed at. The restaurants i went to were all good. I didnt know Arizona is so big, and very civilized as well. I had a lot of fun and I also applied to a few places for work related to what i do now but i didnt land anything so far.





We saw a few of these little pixie storms.




University of Phoenix Stadium Home of the Arizona Cardinals. This is where the Giants whopped the Patriots in the Super Bowl a few years ago. Out of all the stadiums i saw here this one was definitely the biggest.


Ive heard of this place so i had to pay it a visit. Its called The Heart Attack Grill in Chandler. The burgers were good but super greasy. I also liked how the staff dressed up in medical gear including the waitresses.


The Chandler mall. I didnt know Arizona is jam packed with malls and shopping centers.


This was at a pizza place in Tucson called 1702. There slices are very big and exquisite!


This is me outside the Tucson museum. I didnt know Tucson is a big city and still growing!


Now this was in Tempe. I had a beef brisket and pulled pork sandwich here and it just ripped my taste buds to pieces.


This was right across the street from the barbecue place.


This is my homie and me in the back. We raced each others brains out and i smoked him and took him to school.

Light At The End of The Tunnel

This was at Phoenix on the i-10. On saturday heading back home.

Like i said, i had a blast i wouldn't mind visiting this place again.

I almost forgot to mention the average MPG to and from AZ was an amazing: 24 mpg on the highway at an average 60-70 mph. Only one pit stop was made to AZ and no stops on the way back. I did not use cruise control, the air condition was only used on low or not used at all and i had my tailgate down with my sliding bed extender pulled out, everything else was in tip-top shape.

I really enjoyed the pictures. This burger looks tasty. I will put the "Heart Attack Grill" on my list of places to visit in Arizona.

Heart Attack Grill... Home of the Double Bypass Burger!

Awww, pics of home, haha. I used to live by the cardinals stadium. Watched them break ground and almost finish it before I moved back to KC. Also have a lot of good memories going through that tunnel on the I-10 with the AZ240sx and RX7 guys :). Thanks for sharing!

Next time take a day trip up to the Sedona area. It's touristy, but the views are not to be missed. We spent a few days there a few years back on our way to the grand canyon.

Squirrel hunting? You mean the desert dogs? Those things will eat out of your hand if you have lettuce leaves! It's so damn cute because they run funny.

Looooooove the pics!! That's my backyard but you MISSED SO MUCH!! You should have headed south to check out Lake Havasu City, Parker, Copper Basin Dunes, all the border towns, and prettty much all of Northern Arizona, LOL! Those "pixie storms" are called Dust Devils! They're fun to drive into but they'll scratch the heck out of your ride with hay from the ag fields LOL. Now you know next time you enter that tunnel, you're supposed to hold your breath and make a wish. It's tradition! Just don't forget to breathe if you can't handle holding it that long! ;)

Unlike most people believe, yes we are actually civilized, ahahaha.. and since it's so dang hot we love indoor sports and shopping. Lol. .. I don't think I'll ever actually make the move to the east coast ever being stuck between both places. Lol .. I thought they sold glass Coke bottles everywhere! & I don't just mean the small crates from Mexico that you can pick up at Costco/Sams.

Nice coverage! You made it to quite a few places while you were out here.

Glad you got to see it during our spring, rather than the 115* summer. :(
