Arizona Trip

I know this is late in coming, but here are a few pictures from our trip to Phoenix a few weeks ago.

We went down for an Admitted Students Weekend that the Law School was holding. We went down a few days early to look at housing. Blech! We spent the better part of 2 days going from complex to complex, and never really found the "perfect" apartment. Either the location was good and the apartments weren't that great, or the apartments were good and the location was bad.

On Friday, we took a tour of the new campus. The school is moving from North Phoenix to the heart of downtown. We were both a little surprised how unfinished the building is, and Mike starts classes there in two months. But they say they'll be up and running by then.

That night, there was a really nice Dean's Scholarship Dinner at a restaurant downtown named The Arrogant Butcher. We were really nervous to take Ellie, seeing as how she won't sit in a high chair for longer than 5 minutes nowadays. But she was a super star! Especially since we didn't even get our food for 2.5 hours, and were there for a total of 3.5.

Mike spent all Saturday at the Law School attending classes and student panels. He was also able to meet a lot of his new classmates, and he's very excited to start school in the Fall.

I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here's one of Mike's silhouette, standing in front of the view from the 20th floor of the law school.

And here's one of Ellie reading books at the Phoenix City Library.
