We debated over whether this blog post was to go in our local or travel folder....we chose travel as we were no longer in our house! After the weekend in Sedona, we checked in to an AirBnB for a week, with Simran joining us for the week and Rakesh/Ria joining us the last weekend to celebrate our last hoorah in Scottsdale before we officially moved to Chicago!

Keith picked up Simran at the airport on the Monday and met Shawna at the house - she had arrived just a few minutes earlier. The house was near the intersection of Chaparral and North Granite Reef. It was a nice three bedroom with a big living/family room and a nice outdoor fire pit. Shawna and Sim headed out for some grocery shopping while Keith Ubered back to the
JW Marriott Desert Ridge for his conference.

We used the house as a base for work and fun, but while we were there we:
- Had dinner out at Fat Ox (so yummy) and Cornish Pasty (our favorite in Scottsdale)
- Had takeout from Soi 4 Bankok Eatery, Cornish Pasty (again), and Diego Pops
- Ate dinner at home cooked by Rakesh (yummy fish, steak, potatoes and greens)
- Had lunch at Ghost Ranch and finally made it to the southern part of Tempe
- Walked around the Desert Botanic Gardens and went to the butterfly garden
- Made coffee runs to Cartel Coffee Lab (a new favorite of Ria's!)
- Walked around the neighborhood, Chaparral Park, Camelback Park, and Old Town/Waterfront
- Lots of hanging out and chatting

It was a nice relaxing farewell to Arizona, and the departure on Sunday was bittersweet. But...we are now Illinois locals!
