Raw Notes From the Field - Westin Kierland Resort - Scottsdale
The only thing hardcore about this picture is the drink and my hat. Not thinking about much here but then again that is the point, right?
Arizona is home to some of the best destination resorts in the country and we take advantage of the deals they offer to locals when the temps push past the century mark. A two room suite at the Westin for the price of a deluxe room and a bunch of other freebies make it an easy decision especially when you have a couple days with nothing on the calender which isn't very often for us. Hey, it isn't Hidden Meadows or Coronado but it is close and easy. It's nice to lay around the pool with the wife unit, hang out with my kids and be waited on by the staff. Last night, we walked over to the shops at Kierland to window shop and goof around. The kids bee lined it to the ice cream and I went to Barnes & Noble to get my monthly stack of research materials. Magazines.
In addition to Outside, Backpacker, Trail Runner, Alpinist, Field & Stream, Gray's Sporting Journal and Nat Geo Adventure, I found a couple others that I had never seen before. Sporting Classics and Mountain Sports + Living. I liked them. Check 'em out when you get a chance.
Time to hit the pool. Lest you think that I am slacking, I am testing sun screen, sunglasses and some Sun Precautions gear.
By the way, do you know what an Arnold Palmer is called when you add a shot of Ketel One? A John Daly. Cheers!
