Breaking Dawn trip

Every time a new twilight movie comes out my sister in laws and I take a trip to the valley to watch them together.  We added a couple more hours to our trip this year.  It is so good to be able to take time off whenever I need to now.  We left early Friday moring to do some shopping around town. We spent a lot of time at the mall and spent way too much money.  We ate a nice dinner at Cheesecake Factory (yum!) then went ice skating to burn off those calories!  Saturday morning finally came and it was time for the main event!  Breaking dawn was fantastic!  We absolutely loved it!  After the movie it was time for more and more shopping!  We bought way too much crap!  Then it was time for the girls to leave and head back to town.  I got to stay in Phoenix by myself for about an hour.  That was just enough time to make a quick trip to IKEA!  Then I got the opportunity to get lost on the fantastically amazing freeway system that Phoenix has to offer.  I have decided that I officially HATE HATE HATE the US60!  That is the stupidest highway known to man!  I don't even care that stupidist isn't even a word!  That stupid highway confuses me every single time!  Last time I was on the 60 by myself I took a detour to Tucson on my way home.  This time I spent a good 30 min in traffic for some sporting even at wild horse pass.    I ended up figuring my way out of that mess and made it over to meet Seth, Kieth, and Brittany for dinner before the ASU/ UofA game. 
We had dinner at Native New Yorker before the game.  Let me tell you that ASU fans are CRAZY!  Even just at dinner they were slinging insults and all of the people with me wearing UofA T-shirts.  (I refuse to get into the UofA/ASU fan base.  I didn't go to either school so I like them both).  It was worse once we got to the game!  I've never seen people behave as rudely as they did.  I'm sure it would be the same if we were in Tucson but I was really surprised.  People would sneak up behind you so you couldn't see them and yell "high five"  then when you would turn around they would flip you off.  We got boo'd everywhere we went.  There was even a fight in the stands.  Great fun to watch I'm just glad I wasn't down there.  After the game we headed home.  It was a long long long weekend.  I was sure glad to finish it up with a short week at school.
