Not raining at the moment, but the forecast makes it pretty clear that our 1:00 PM game is in jeopardy! The Dodgers/White Sox park in Glendale is about a 30 minute drive. We left early so we could stop and check out the Sun City Grand community which was on the way. Its beautiful! 9700 homes, four golf courses, every amenity one could want. Of course, we couldn't imagine living in a place like that! While we were in their community center enjoying a complimentary cup of coffee, the skies opened....we could hear rain pounding on the roof.

There was no way this ballgame would be played. Nevertheless, we went over to the ballpark to take a look.

So, what does one do in Phoenix when its raining? We still had to meet our friends at 5:00 in Scottsdale.  We Googled Shopping Malls and came up with Biltmore Fashion Park- very nice mallish place with exclusive brands like Brooks Brothers, Saks, etc.

By now the sun was shining, sort of, but it was still cool - mid 50s. With more time on the clock we headed over to Scottsdale and walked around the historic arts district. Beautiful works of art!

We met our friends the Nappi's at a favorite Italian restaurant called Oregano's for an awesome pizza! They have lived in Scottsdale for years, only recently moving to Boise for the summer. A fun visit!

By the time day ended, we had driven a complete circle around Phoenix. Of course, as we headed up Rt 101 on the way back to our hotel, it started to rain!

Heading home tomorrow.
