Matt and I started out 2013 by traveling to sunny Arizona to watch our Wildcats in the Fiesta Bowl. The night before we left, it was -4 degrees in Iowa. Needless to say, we were anxious to get to sunnier skies and a warmer climate!
The highs were only in the 60's which was apparently "cold" to the natives! Our car rental helper even had gloves on as he handed us the keys to our bright cherry-red convertible (only one of those things is true...!)
We stayed at a resort in Scottsdale and I must say that Matt did an EXCELLENT job booking this one! Since it was still close to Christmas, the palm trees and orange trees were still lit up with beautiful lights along the driveway as we pulled in.
We had a chance to explore Old Town Scottsdale for a few hours before the game and I made my poor husband take a picture next to a cactus. . . we did not notice the STOP sign until afterwards - oh well! Then we were off to the game.
K-State fans were EVERYWHERE and I haven't had that much fun tailgating in a long time!
And even though the game ended up as a total bust for our Wildcats, we had a great time getting away together. . . with 50,000 of our closest friends!
