a visit to Arizona

drove to arizona for the weekend to visit marissa.  brian, daisy and Jr flew in...

yeah!!!

since we could never get reservations for pizza bianco we had to try pane bianco instead.

pizza bianco is suppose to be the best pizza in the u.s but i guess we will never be able to try it unless we want to wait for 3 hours... maybe not 

pane bianco is owned by the same person as pizza bianco, at least we can guess how good the pizza would have been.

they make sandwiches with bread cooked in a wood oven

looks good

sooooo yum

new eats

While visiting Mom in the hospital we discovered some new places to eat. Chicken Pie Shop. It was like going back to the 50's even the waitresses were all old and grouchy too. For $5 you could get soup or salad and a chicken pot pie and mash potato. It was really good.

The other place is Portillo's. Clyde and Kelly first told us about it. They specialize in beef sandwiches and Chicago style hot dogs. Jeff' claim's it's the best chili dog he has ever had. Can't wait to go back. Just wish they had one closer to our house!!! There is only one location in California. The rest are in Chicago.

Interesting decor

The line at our usual lunch spot was very long so we decided to try Sage.We had dinner here once before and lunch was just as good. Can't wait to come back again. Everything we ate was very good. Mom and Jeff especially liked watching Tiger Woods play golf on TV.
