This was our last day in Phoenix, so we planned to just do random things we hadn’t gotten a chance to do yet.

Anne once again tried to put Hyatt Place out of business by raiding the continental breakfast. Our first stop was back to the Giants practice field to see if we could catch them. This time they were there, complaining about running from second to home while walking from home back to second.

Squeezing every last minute out of our hotel, we went back, kissed the plasma goodbye, and had the leftover burger and fries from Fuddruckers. Meanwhile, rain began to pour outside.

Our next stop was Old Town Scottsdale. We quickly realized there are 3 types of shops in Old Town: tourist junk shops, jewelry shops and tourist junk/jewelry shops.

Scottsdale Stadium is only a few blocks away though, so we walked over and found a bunch of fans waiting behind a railing. It was almost 1 pm and some of the Giants players were leaving after their grueling 3-hour practices. Omar Visquel, Giants shortstop came out and signed some autographs while we were there. I wonder how long before those go on eBay.

The rest of the afternoon was spent driving around to downtown and to the Capitol. It was pouring rain a lot of the time, so we decided to head to the airport a bit early to see if we could get home at a more reasonable time.

I was going directly to LA for meetings on Tuesday. Anne couldn’t get a direct flight earlier, so we walked pretty much all around terminal 4 looking for a place to eat. An hour later, the asian place we saw right next to Anne’s gate where we started seemed like the best option. At least we worked up an appetite.

Phoenix was fun, but really exploring any new place is what we like. I think Salt Lake City is calling us next.
