Wes and I flew to Arizona on Thursday, Sept 16th (my cousin's Jen's b-day) and flew home on the 20th. Jen, TJ, Matt, Luke and Aunt Ann picked us up from the airport. We went straight to Kinnick's Bar and Grill. It is a new sports bar that had just opened recently. You could still smell the new paint in it. Scott, Amy, U Steve, A Carolyn and Steph all met us there.
Friday morning Wes and I headed down to Tucson. Wes and his boss were to play golf but our Garmin sent us into the desert so we got lost and the rescheduled for Saturday morning. Probably a better tee time at 7:20 AM than 12:40 PM. It was hot, they actually were having record temps for this time of the year. Wes, his coworkers and I went out on the town in Tucson Friday night. We went to The Hut were all IA fans were gathering. It was alot of fun, but very crowded. We also hit some other bars around the area. We got back to the motel at 9:30. We really thought it was later, but really it was 11:30 IA time!!
Wes golfed Saturday morning as I layed around the hotel. We headed to Gentle Ben's Saturday afternoon to meet up with the U of A fans (Jen and Steph) also Steve, Carolyn, Ryan Roe, TJ and Matt met our group there. Gentle Ben's was also a hang out for IA fans. We headed to the game later. It started at 7:30 AZ time so 9:30 IA time. It was a good game except for the loss for the Hawks. There was a good breeze where we sat. Wes and I went back to the motel after the game, we were tired.
Sunday Wes and I got up and around and headed back to Mesa. Jen and TJ had a get together for supper that night. Was good to see Ben and Morgan and meet Garrett and Connor. We had a great time in AZ. I hate that I never got a shot of the Warin girls and I. I believe Steph and A Carolyn took some, hopefully they will email some to me.
Thanks to Jen and TJ for the hospitality and Amy for taking us back to the airport.
