One of Meagan and Dawson's favorite places. If you don't have one near you, definitely give it a try! You can get 8 tastings for $12 and they have a great happy hour too M-F 3-5:30! We love their Trio Medallions, Blackened Blue Prime Skirt Steak Salad, Gnocchi Carbonara, and their Crispy Brussel Sprouts! Meagan's favorite wine- Camille Audacious or Bubbly Blood Orange Pineapple. Dawson's favorite wine- Romance Red or Chocolate Almond. *They have a Surprise location as well, but the Scottsdale one is our favorite!*

One of our favorite AZ Italian restaurants! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but you have to try their Pizza Cookie and the Gibbilini Bellini! Meagan and Dawson love their Alfredo the Dark with chicken! *They have locations all over the valley*

Dawson could eat this every day of the week and he has absolutely done that before. This is a Chinese/Mexican fusion spot and it was on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! Our order is a Chino Combo with jade red chicken, plain fried rice, and a jade red chicken quesadilla.

Such a fun place for food and drinks! They have great happy hour specials too! We love their sweet potato fries, crispy fish bites, hula burger, and their pink bikini martini!

If you're looking for great BBQ this is the place!! You have to try their brisket and their tomatillo brisket mac and cheese!

A fun place for breakfast/brunch! Their avocado toast is HUGE, but SO good! Also their bloody mary bar is insane!

Such a cute place for breakfast/brunch! They have the best coffee flights!

If you love to golf, here you go! It will be the best time to golf in AZ!

Another great golfing spot!

If you're looking to golf, this course is beautiful and is the exact spot where the infamous Waste Management Open takes place every year!

Calling all my pickle ball lovers!! If you have never been- you definitely need to check it out! You can eat, play, and drink!

Tiger Woods knows what he's doing! Come play mini golf, eat, and drink!

One of AZ's iconic hikes! Only about an hour away.

Great for all kinds of hiking and outdoors! We love the Waterfall Trail- if it's open we highly recommend you go see it!

Another iconic AZ hike! About 40 minutes away.

Again, only if you're staying for a little longer- it's about 2 hours away, but definitely worth checking out if you have the time. We love Sedona and there are so many things to do! This is one of our favorite hikes, it is beautiful in the winter time and you may even see the red rocks covered in snow!

Weather you want to kayak, paddle board, swim, cliff jump, or rent a boat or jet ski, Lake Pleasant has it all! You may even see some wild donkeys! For lunch we love Dillon's Bayou at Lake Pleasant Harbor, Lakeside Bar and Grill, and Scorpion Bay Grill.

A little further from the venue, but if you're here for the weekend, this is a beautiful spot! The weather will be great for this too!

Meagan's favorite place- Dawson's worst nightmare. If you have some time to shop- look no further! Last Chance is a Nordstrom's discount store where you can find designer items marked up to 75% off! It can be a little overwhelming, but if you love a good deal and have some room in your suitcase, definitely check it out!

Another one of Meagan's favorite discount stores! Reclectic is a Free People, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters clothing discount store where most items are marked anywhere from 50-75% off! If you go- I recommend parking on the outside in front of the store so you don't have to go anywhere inside Arizona Mills Mall.

Only about an hour away, but tons to do here! Walk around, shop, eat, drink, etc!

About an hour away. Cave Creek is so cute and probably has the most cacti per square inch that we've ever seen! So much to do and see! They have a ton of restaurants and bars that are super cute and unique!
