Phoenix trip

Last weekend Jess and I used some frequent flyer miles to go down to Phoenix and see the Seahawks. The game was a lot of fun even though we lost. It was nice to get away from the rain for a bit. We did some putt putt golfing, saw a movie (Christmas Carol 3D), and went to the Science Center. The first night we stayed at a cheap hotel that was not very accessible to the awful transit system they have in Phoenix. We switched to a nicer hotel near the stadium on the 2nd night. They have a real nice outdoor area kind of like Downtown Disney that is right next to the stadium. We ate at Margaritaville there after the game. I didn't take the big camera but Jess took some pics with his phone. He sent the picture of downtown Phoenix at 6pm to the blog. Phoenix was kind of a depressing sprawling city with not much happening away from the stadium. I don't think we will go back except for maybe a trip to Spring training some day. Next year, it will be Joe's turn to pick an away Seahawks or Mariners game.
