Our last morning in Arizona. Although sad to leave, we always look forward to seeing our cats. Arizona is three hours behind Georgia time, which will be very interesting trying to get used to again. Why is it so easy adjusting to more time but so much harder the other way around!? Ugh! Oh well, still totally worth it even if it will be difficult waking up for work later.
Jason and I showered, packed, and checked out of the hotel bright and early. Before officially leaving, we decided to walk to a local restaurant for breakfast. We stumbled across a place called Pita Pit. We were the only people in the restaurant. We placed our orders, sat, and enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast together:
The beautiful sidewalks of Tempe:
After eating, we walked back to the hotel for our vehicle and stumbled across this:
We wished we had more time in Tempe, especially today because the weather was perfect! It was sunny with wonderfully cool breezes. Sadly, we needed to head home.We hopped in our car and drove to the airport to deposit our rental car. We followed signs which led us to a parking deck and a man with a scanner. Jason signed the receipt as I pulled the rest of our luggage out. The man encouraged us to check our car to make sure we didn't leave anything behind. We then headed towards security. The line was very small, so we expected to be in and out with no issues. Unfortunately, the TSA had different plans. They thought it would be fun to go through all of our belongings with gloves and then proceed to pat us down. Now, when I say pat us down... I mean grope. A woman was instructed to search me and did not do it professionally. The same thing happened with Jason. It's not a search, it was harassment.
After the surprising and upsetting search, we made the way to our gate. I was upset and went to the restroom and then bought myself a large ass cookie. We ate it together at the gate while trying to discern what the lady at the gate was saying through the intercom. She was not from America and had a thick Asian accent. Eventually we figured out that we could board. We found our seats and Jason let me sit by the window. Below is a picture of our flight:
The ride was bumpier this time. The pilot seemed to be in a hurry and actually got us there quicker than expected. When the flight attendants came with the snack car, Jason overheard a woman ask for "one of each" of the snacks. He excitedly tried the same thing. It worked! Apparently, you can have one of each on every flight. I just took numerous cookie packs instead. Jason then finished the Handmaid's Tale while I watched Atlanta on tv. In no time we were home.
We got back pretty late, so we decided to eat at the airport. Below are pictures of our mediocre food:
After eating, we found our baggage and made our way to Marta. We then picked up our cars and headed home. Below are pictures of our cats being very excited to see us:
After getting home, we cuddled the cats for a while and then went to Dairy Queen. Today was my last day ever eating refined sugary treats. I'm officially giving up cookies, cakes, ice cream, desserts that aren't fruit, and sugary things in general. One last treat: a large Reese's Blizzard. Goodbye sugar:
