Bob had to use a couple of days vacation by the end of this month and since we didn't have anywhere we were dying to go, we decided to stay home. With the exception of yesterday when we decided to drive up to Flagstaff for the night. On our way out we stopped to lunch at one of my favorite french restaurants, Zinc Bistro, in Kierland Commons. It was so dreamy! I just had to share these pictures with you. (Keep in mind that of course I forgot my camera and had to use my phone) The food was delish! (And you know how we're all about food!)

On that note, the sole reason we drove up to Flagstaff was to dine at another of our favorite restaurants, Pasto. They have the most delicious Italian food! I love their bolognese pasta. (Which Bob and I keep trying to recreate) They have a beautiful back patio that you can't see from the front. Keep that in mind if you are ever up there. Of course it was about 2 degrees below zero last night up in Flagstaff so we ate inside. Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration, but it sure felt like it!

We are back home now and making our own dinners. I can't wait to have this time off to get things done around the house! We are thinking of planting a vegetable garden. Hmmmm...
