Hannah and Val did an AMAZING job planning everything and they completely spoiled everyone! The prizes and goodie bags they put together were fabulous! Oh, and one of the other ladies made candles for everyone! FabFitFun also surprised us by sending a box of fall FabFitFun tote bags! I had such an amazing time and I’m so happy that I ended up going. I’m a pretty shy person and usually feel uncomfortable in situations like this, but everyone was so friendly and it was such a great community of women. I can’t wait for the next one!
2 | Escape Room
Last weekend Adam and I tried an escape room for our September Date (from our Year of Dates). There are like 50 escape room places in our area, but I ended up booking with Cluemaster Escape Rooms in Gilbert. All of their rooms are private, so we could do the escape room with just the 2 of us…although I think it would have been easier with a few more people.
We ended up escaping, but only because we got a bonus 5 minutes. The room was school-themed so our cluemaster told us that Ms. Baker got called to the principal’s office and would be back in 5 minutes. After we got out, she told us that most people need the extra 5 minutes so that made us feel a little better. I’ve only done one other escape room and Adam had never been before, but we both liked it and will probably do another one, but next time we’ll bring a couple friends!
3 | Southern Nightmare
The podcast is really well done and the story is fascinating. I really liked how they focused on the victims more so than other true crime podcasts. They have interviews with the victims’ parents, siblings, husband, friends, and coworkers and you really get to hear about who they lost and how it affected the rest of their lives. There’s also an episode all about DNA and how it is used as evidence. I thought that episode was really interesting too.
4 | Arizona Restaurant Week
Last weekend we went to Roaring Fork in Scottsdale. We each started with the mixed greens salad, I had the bacon wrapped filet mignon and Adam ordered the striped seabass for our main entrée. For dessert I had the crème brulee and Adam had the chocolate toffee pecan pie. Of course everything was delicious (the mashed potatoes served with my steak were heaven), but we both thought my steak was better than his fish and his pie was better than my crème brulee.
This weekend we’re going to Mother Bunch Brewing. Their menu is $44/couple and includes a beer!
5 | Washington D.C.
Do you have any plans for the weekend? Other than trying another place for Arizona Restaurant Week, we don’t have anything planned.
The FabFitFun event sounds like it was a lot of fun! I didn't even know these existed! haha
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun! I was so impressed by the two ladies who took on all of the planning and organizing. I'm sure it was so much work!
DeleteSo many fun things!! My daughter really wants to do an escape room, I'll have to make it happen soon!
ReplyDeleteYou should! It was a lot of fun. The lady told us 4 is probably the best number of people to have. There's a couple extra sets of eyes, but there's not too many people that it's distracting and overwhelming.
DeleteI totally want to do an escape room!! And I love all these resturant weeks, so fun :)
ReplyDeleteI love Restaurant Week! Mother Bunch ended up being our favorite. The food and beer was delicious and it was such a good deal!
DeleteI would love to attend a fabfitfun event, wish they had one locally.
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye on the community forums on the FabFitFun site! There might be one planned in your area at some point!
DeleteI really want to try one of their boxes some time.
ReplyDeleteThey are so fun to get! #treatyoself
DeleteI love escape rooms but they make me clastaurphobic too. And I will definitely be trying out that podcast.
ReplyDeleteThat podcast is SO good! I got one of my friends to start it and he really likes it so far too!
