Hidden gems
What are some hidden gems around the Valley that only people who have lived here for years would know about?
Nia got me thinking since she posted about the Farm.
Fill me in girls. I want to do some fun things this "winter" that are outside or relatively inexpensive with DH!
EV farmers markets, pumpkin patches, great family restaurants, etc. Anything....and GO!

Re: Hidden gems
I cant wait to do the Luminaria's at the Desert Botanical Garden. Never been but heard such great things about it.
Schnepf Farms is a cool pumpkin place. I might be taking my nephew this year.
The year before last we went to the Hale Theater in Gilbert and saw "A Christmas Carol" it was a great show. You are like right in the middle of it, which makes its awesome.
I think that is all I cant think of right now.

I really want to go there and I think if you like them ono FB you can get discounts on activities they have their...
I really want to go see the Luminaria's at the Desert Botanical Garden this year too...
LOVE the Farm. If you make it out here, definitely check out The Fruit Barn. It's on Baseline between 24th and 32nd St. It's a cute little store with locally made breads and fresh fruits/veggies. Oh and they have really good honey, if you like honey.
For a romantic dinner, try Quiessance at the Farm. It's in the very back and super cute! It's a bit pricey, but Matt and I go there every now and then b/c the food and the atmosphere is awesome!
i love the christmas show and i mean SHOW at phx fist assembly here is a video about it. its free i think or very cheap...
the nest haunted house at rawhide. it was voted number one.
the christmas lights at community church of joy. it think its like $10-15 and all goes to charity. i found this link about it.
parade of lights in downtown chandler before that go to the tree lighting at tumbleweed.
if you are planning any trips up to flag i would grab a quick bite at macy's link here. AWESOME CAFE!
nobuo is a great asain teahouse its in downtown phx.
this local bakery has the best maracoons and croissants ever.
you can also visit downtown glendale for the 'glendale glitters' (christmas lights, carriage rides, etc.) and check out all the local shops.
if you havent been up to south moutain i would drive there and stop here on the way to get the best mexican type snowcone ever. they were voted best of phoenix too. (be aware that you are in south phx tho and the snowcone place is like an old historic house. there will be a line but it is worth the wait i promise)
thats all i can think of right now....
Thank you ladies for all the ideas!!
DH and my anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks then my birthday is 2 days after. I think we are gonna go do a couple things mentioned above!

Wow, Dianna, lots of ideas. Thank you!
We went to The Nest haunted house last year, I think that's the one. It was in Avondale last year, right? Or Goodyear, I can't remember.
Corn field mazes!! One of my favorite things to do in the fall!
In December, I love Glendale Glitters.
WHAT! They have a place down here. I love The Place in Flagstaff.
And yeah, Zoo Lights are coming out soon. But I think they do have Boo at the Zoo too.

after talking with dh, i have a few more to share lol.
first for all you bakers and cake/cupcake lovers if you are free on sunday you need to go to the hotel valley ho for this event!!! $10 in advance or $15 at the door you get to sample cupcakes from local bakeries, cupcakeries, restaurants and pastry chefs. there will be activties for the kiddos too.
do you like hot dogs? this place has the best hot dogs ever. and if you dont like hot dogs after you eat here you will. seriously. here's the twitter page and read the reviews about sld here.
do you like bowling? stacey this is sooo for you lol - i remember youre like a pro at bowling!
lucky strike is like a super fun modern, urban bowling place but so much more than just a bowling ally theres a bar and cool resturant and the place looks awesome inside. its like fancier upsacle bowling, its in downtown phx. here are some pictures from the grand opening.
this is an awesome pizzeria/wine bar in central/downtown phx too. its so cute, fun, relaxed, and the staff is great. it was voted best of phoenix too.
i was talking to dh last night to get more ideas and we have alot more but i def dont want to overwhelm you lol. at work, alot of coworkers will ask me for ideas of places to go/things to do - i think its b/c ive lived here my whole life!!!
Yep!! It's on the southeast corner of 51st Ave. & Bell (which is my old neighborhood - I could have walked to it from the house I grew up in). There is a Walgreens in the plaza, and I think (?) Chili Bombers (used to be Swenson's and then it was Majerle's, and now I think it's still Chili Bombers). It's in the back, near what used to be a movie theater (a long time ago), and then I think it was a furniture store. Now, I don't know if anything is in there. But yep! It's there! And every bit as good as the ones in Flaggstaff!
