After the Grand Canyon, we had two days left to explore Phoenix & Scottsdale. We stopped by the Desert Botanical Garden. We spent a good two hours walking around and seeing the native plants. It's amazing how many types of cacti there are! Following that, we had lunch at Flower Child with my good friend Amy. She's been a great friend of mine since our Flagler College soccer playing days! It is always wonderful seeing her and catching up! Of course we had to hit up the local Sprinkles too! Juliette is a big fan of chocolate right now!
The next day, we took Juliette to the Children's Museum of Phoenix. The museum is just darling and Juliette LOVED it. We had a hard time prying her away! She got to paint a robot pink...and some other kids helping paint the robot were so kind as to paint Juliette's hair pink too. We had lunch at Matt's Big Breakfast. Best bacon I've ever had! Later in Old Town Scottsdale, Juliette nabbed herself a pair of shiny black cowgirl boots. She's been obsessed with them ever since. We finished up the day with a trip to Baked Bear. Matt had told me that we would enjoy this place...and he was right! I had an oatmeal cookie ice cream sandwich that was delish! Juliette had herself a chocolate chip cookie eaten with a spoon. Weird kid.
