good morning from Scottsdale Arizona
yeah yeah you're right really late last
night we were super hungry which is why
we went to in-and-out um got some sleep
and now we're ready to conquer the day
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed so we're
here in Arizona for the next five days
we're going to Scottsdale Sedona Grand
Canyon and Paige super pumped so I've
mentioned this before but I'm originally
from Arizona so from birth to eight
years old I lived just like 20 minutes
south of Scottsdale so Adams never been
to this part of Arizona only Tucson so
I'm super pumped to have him see kind of
where I grew up I never saw the Grand
Canyon when I lived here so I'm really
excited to finally make it there so it
should be really fun but the best part
our friends Kelly and Michael are with
us
[Music]
first things first Ricky we are at farm
and craft in Old Town Scottsdale
I got a traditional American breakfast
sweet potato hash two eggs bacon grilled
veggies and Katherine got her assortment
of sights my breakfast right here yeah
it's not as good at
[Music]
[Applause]
so obviously our next stop was to get
coffee and we're gonna do a bang bang so
the bang bang is is when you hit up to
places back-to-back so we just went to
four Dena's and Old Town Scottsdale
again Americanos we're about to go to
this place called ruse cake house that
Callie found the survey's like bubble
tea drinks it's cotton candy on top so
I'm a little excited for that yeah it
looks really cool so we're gonna walk
there and go check that out too
[Music]
[Music]
look at this bruise which is the cutest
place ever shout out to Cali for
dragging this and so we got the chyme
milk boba so there's the probe at the
bottom which I've never tried so I'm
gonna try that and then there's chai and
then there's cotton candy cotton candies
in like glutinous straw
good megatexture person so I mean I've
said this before but like textures kind
of weird me out which is why I like
trying poke it was a little scary for me
but this is actually delicious and the
little balls aren't that weird
[Music]
walking around Old Town Scottsdale super
cool around here yeah it's like a
western themed area so we love Wes Earth
we love themed town I should say like
Leavenworth and Washington which is like
Bavarian themed just really fun to walk
around touristy but
[Music]
and in typical a plus K fashion we are
getting more to eat our itineraries just
like eat walk eat walk repeat are ended
walk walk to make room for more food in
our stomachs so this is like kind of
acts like the only day we're really
going to eating out a lot so we're
trying to take advantage of the cool
spots so they're already eat in
Scottsdale and it should be no surprise
but we're eating we're at a place plug
Diego plops which is not only the cutest
place ever the inside super cool that
was really awesome outdoor patio
some kind of unique spin Johnson tacos
he had plantains and chips
she was salsa and welcome home he looks
so excited I can't talk so I got the two
pork pineapple tacos state taco and they
Adam God
[Music]
some Diego Pop's mom tacos Anantha
school of sauces this pink sauce is a
sour cream heat and garlic and it is
super good and to continue our
Scottsdale stuff your face fast we're
gonna go get more coffee we got our
caffeine and we're ready to go
our next stop is Sedona Arizona so our
time in Scottsdale was really short but
we will be back on the last day of our
trip so we're gonna be in Sedona the
rest of the day and then tomorrow really
excited because we hear it's gorgeous
there so we're gonna do some hiking our
plans for tonight
maybe our very up in the air cuz it
might be raining so we're gonna see how
it is when we get there hopefully
squeeze in a hike but if not find
something else fun to do I guess
[Music]
we made it to Sedona and look at the
view from our Airbnb
how excited is everyone on a scale of
one to ten twelve so our original plan
was to hike to Cathedral Rock at sunset
but on the way here it was really rainy
and we weren't really sure if we could
do it still so we went back and forth on
the plan what should we do what hike but
here we are ready to go
here we are hiking Cathedral Rock so
whew it looks like we might have a small
window so we're gonna go do it so this
hike is like one point four miles
roundtrip but it's a really steep uphill
so apparently it's like climb rocks and
stuff so I'm already out of breath from
vlogging and hiking so we'll see how it
goes
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
so the hiker actually wasn't that bad
you definitely have to climb on some
rocks but it was pretty easy pretty
quick definitely have us breathing and
we actually had the whole place to
ourselves right now there's no one up
here which is crazy I think their rain
scared some people often yeah so far
nothing slick so yeah it's a short short
hike for a awesome payoff yeah
Sedona we love it great start awesome
start
look at this view
[Music]
we found this awesome rock tower so if
you are at the view point when you get
to the end of the trail just go to the
left and then there's a big rock go to
the right around it and here it is and
no one's here
this is so great alright headed down to
the car down from Cathedral Rock the
walk down is not that bad so far we
thought it might be really slick but we
haven't fallen yet there Pat we've had a
few minor slips but no Falls so been
dodging the rain though yeah it's
raining a little bit but it has not
poured on us yet either so we're really
glad we made this decision to come here
I don't think we would have had time for
our backup hike so we're gonna save that
for tomorrow
we did it that's the end of day one had
a lot of yummy food had a really fun
hike it's awesome so much fun already
tomorrow we're gonna do two hikes one
for sunrise and then we're gonna head to
the Grand Canyon I cannot wait I am so
pumped can't wait to see it
