When my good friend Jessie from Austria came to visit me here in Arizona, she expected to have a "girls vacation" - meaning that she thought all we would do is dress up and go out nice. Why did she think that? Well, I do love putting on a pair of heels and celebrating life, and since we haven't known each other for long she has mostly seen this side of me. For her, I am (or at least used to be) the It girl - which could be defined as the girl with the socialite lifestyle, always wearing the newest trends and just being the pretty face. Turns out she was wrong - I don't mind getting all dirty and putting in an effort to climb up a mountain just to get a beautiful view. Hence the reason for the title of this blog and the song in the video! However, I have to admit that during our two-day trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon, we did dress up twice - after hiking all day on Monday we decided to spoil ourselves and went to the Alcantara Vineyards in Cottonwood to have a good old-fashioned winetasting and - of course - amazing cheese and grapes. Also, at night we went to a restaurant I've been to before and loved a lot - The Barking Frog. I already talked about this in a previous post so check it out if you didn't before: The last days of sunshine. |
