Dinner somewhere close to a place where we could find a christmas
tree to take our picture by. Originally we thought a restuarant
close to a mall or the visitor's center in Mesa. Well we were planning
on getting our tree on saturday morning, but Shaun had since ask
if he could borrow the truck to go get a tree for their family that morning,
so we decided we needed to get our tree friday night somewhere closer so
we'd have time to eat, get our picture taken & get back to get our tree.
So we ended up going to "The Point at South Mountain" which is now
"America Grand" I believe. We got there so early they weren't even
serving yet, so we got our picture taken by the tree & they took us in early &
we got to sit by the window with a beautiful view & they brought on the
candles & we had a lovely dinner with ambience. Then we went looking
for a fresh cut tree. To me that's always been part of christmas, picking out
just the right tree & the smell of fresh cut pine trees. We got one they say
puts out the strongest pine aroma & we are enjoying it even though it's
not decorated yet.
