On Saturday, Mike and I went to the Desert Botanical Garden here in Phoenix to view the Chihuly exhibit. This guy (whose last name is Chihuly) has a team of glass artisans, and he/they create these wonderful one-of-a-kind glass pieces. I don't remember what this one was called...I think it had something to do with the sun. Anyway, I have pictures on Flickr from this exhibit...if you're in Phoenix from now until May 31st, I would highly recommend visiting this. You have to go to the website to order the tickets BEFORE you go, and I suggest the 4-8 pm time slot, since these pieces look totally different at night. We walked around for 3 hours!

After that, we tried to go to the new Irish restaurant (The Auld Dubliner?) on Northern, but we could NOT find a parking spot! So, we went to Lis Doon Varna, which is an Irish restaurant we've been to before, and that's always good. I think the Strongbow cider I had kicked me on my (bleep), and I probably should have had a Diet Coke, but the Strongbow just tastes so good! The kids were exceptionally good for the babysitter, but that is probably because they were completely vexing to us over the weekend.
