Dessert!

In lieu of dessert, Soosie decided to have a Young's Double Chocolate Stout after dinner.  So chocolate-y, so creamy!  Mmmmm....

Old Brown Dog

Soosie took her nearly 13-year old old yellow dog for a walk on the beach in Surf City on Long Beach Island.  It was c-c-cold.  Stopped at the Plantation in Harvey Cedars to warm up with a bowl of soup and a beverage.  In honor of her pup, she ordered the Smuttynose Old brown Dog Ale.  Woof!

Sayonara, Sedona!

The Boozies walked across the street from their hotel to a restaurant called Relics for their last dinner in Sedona.  It's an interesting mix of fine dining and flea market - "relics" line each nook and cranny with price tags affixed.  A bit bizarre, but it seemed to work for this place.

They toasted their trip with a Sauvignon Blanc from Chile - and look forward to the next Boozie adventure.  Cheers!

Oak Creek Brewery

The Boozies spent the morning on a Pink Jeep tour.  It snowed which only added to the magic that they experienced that day!  While coming off the high of their morning, they meandered around Tlaquepaque Village and soon wandered into the Oak Creek Brewery.  It was warm and toasty and they could have stayed all day.  Sherry had the 49er Gold Lager, Soosie had the Village Nut Brown Ale.  A plate of fried pickles and they were a couple of happy Boozies.

Barking Frog

After a day of sight-seeing, wineries, hiking, and shopping, the Boozies found their way to the Barking Frog Grille in Sedona.  Sherry had a prickly pear cactus margarita and Soosie enjoyed an Arizona Sunset (she does love that Malibu Rum).  Both drinks were delicious and the perfect way to wash down their cactus fries!

Screaming Mary

Still working their way to Sedona, the Boozies stopped at the Asylum Restaurant in the Jerome Grand Hotel (Jerome, AZ) for lunch and a cocktail.  Supposedly, the hotel is haunted.  While they saw no ghosts or paranormal activity, they *did* enjoy the Screaming Mary cocktail - hauntingly spicy and eerily delicious!  Booooo!

Alcantara Vineyard

Ready for our next tasting!

On a road less traveled, but well worth the side trip, the Boozies stopped at Alcantara Vineyards in Verde Valley, AZ.  They decided to do the VIP tasting and it was worth it!  The wine was delicious (Sherry bought a bottle to take with them to the hotel), the people were super friendly and the vineyard itself was beautiful.  If you're in the area, follow the signs to Alcantara and tell them the Traveling Boozies sent you!

Kabuki!

Sushi and cocktails for the Boozies at Kabuki!  Soosie had a Kirin Ichiban, Sherry had a pomegranate sake-tini!  If in the area, they would head straight back to this area - the food at Kabuki was outstanding and the Tempe Marketplace was a fun place to be!

Arizona or bust!

Rum and coke for Soosie, Chardonnay for Sherry.  Look out Phoenix - the Traveling Boozies are headed your way!
