Help

DH's Aunt is in town and tonight is her last night.

What are some things we could do? Yesterday, we went to Gilbert, showed her the house we have the offer on and ate at Grimaldi's and on Monday, we went to BJ's for dinner.

I want to do something fun but can't think of anything. Embarrassed

TIA!

  • Old Town?  Tempe Marketplace or Desert Ridge?

  • I was thinking Old Town too but to be honest....I think it's kind of boring to just walk around. The shops are so not my type. It's a cute town and I like giong once in a while but what is there to do other than walk around??
  • I wish I could be more help but I don't know the Gilbert area very well at all!  I do know that there is a Firebird's at Chandler mall, they have a great happy hour and their pineapple martini thing is to die for!  It might be nice to just sit on the patio and enjoy some beautiful AZ weather!

    It doesn't have to be in Gilbert...we currently live in Tempe so anywhere really...I just want something fun! lol

  • How about dinner at The Farm at South Mountain?  My Grandma is coming in a few weeks and I was looking at taking her there.  Before you eat, you could drive up South Mountain to watch the sunset over the valley.

    Otherwise, Joe's Farm Grill in Gilbert is neat.  Compass at the Hyatt Downtown is pretty cool- the restaurant is at the top of the hotel and rotates, so you have an view of the entire city (although, I think it might be a little pricey).  Lon's at the Hermosa Inn is a great place to eat dinner outside and watch the sunset.  

    If you want to do something very Arizona-like, we take guests up to Cave Creek for a real old west feel (not as cheesy as Rawhide).  Greasewood Flats (in N. Scottsdale) or San Tan Flats (in Queen Creek) are fun cowboy type outdoor restaurants.

    Oh, I LOVE mini golf....DH on the other hand doesn't really because he likes real golf so he thinks mini golf is wack! haha

  • Speaking of Old Town, I always like to take out of town guests to the "Sugar Bowl" Their food is pretty good and their ice cream/dessert is even better! I was born and raised in Scottsdale and have been to Sugar Bowl since I was a baby! I love it!

    MMMMMMMM I love ice cream. That's one thing I'm very disappointed in Arizona.......there aren't very many ice cream places except Cold Stone and Dairy Queen. I want real, normal ice cream! lol

    I'm no help but I agree with you on this.... There were so many Ice Cream places back east... With homemade hard icecream... Here, im finding either I spend a fortune at Coldstone or have some lame-O dairy queen... its annoying lol

    Have you guys got ice cream from the Water N Ice stores?  We go there because they carry the old Thrifty's ice cream that we grew up on- it's soooo good!  It's not homemade, but I like it better than Coldstone or Dairy Queen (and it's way cheaper).
