Even though I’m not a huge football fan, I was beyond excited when we got tickets to this:

It meant that we got to go to Phoenix (I’ve never been) and stay here!

Our room was perfect . . .

. . . and in our down time I got to catch up on my reading . . .

. . .  soak in this gorgeous view from our balcony . . .

. . . and lay by the pool.  (Yes, it was pool weather on the 3rd of January!!)

Even though we were busy bees . . .

I made sure to stop and smell the roses.  Oops, I meant the cactus!

Although we had some fancy meals, I think our stop here was my fave . . .

. . . which we hit up on the way here:

We had such an awesome time!!

What about you guys – have you ever been to a bowl game?
