Ann's Bachelorette Party in Flagstaff/Sedona (Feb 19-21)
This past weekend, I attended my friend Ann's bachelorette party in Flagstaff and Sedona. I had only attended bachelor parties up to this point, so this was a first for me. However, I do agree with her philosophy: why not just invite all your friends regardless of their gender?
On Friday night, we arrived in Flagstaff and stayed at a large AirBnB. Living in Arizona, I don't see snow very often, so it was nice to see some when we arrived! The first night was pretty chill because we got in fairly late, so we just played some Playstation 5...something I can never complain about. :D
On Saturday, we drove out to Sedona to hike the "Devil's Bridge Trail". It was about a 4-mile hike and the top featured a stone bridge where many people got their picture taken. I don't ever do much hiking, in fact I probably did more hiking on Saturday than I have in the past decade. :P
After the hike, we stayed in Sedona for food and drinks and finally made our way back to Flagstaff. The girls did bachelorette stuff that night while I grilled some steaks and cooked mashed potatoes and asparagus for everyone. It was nice to see Ann this weekend and hang out with a bunch of friends in Flagstaff and Sedona, a couple cities I've never really experienced visiting before. Ann gets married in early March!
APA 8-Ball City Tournament (Feb 19-21 & Feb 26-27)
The same weekend I went to Ann's party was the same weekend we had the cities tournament for 8-ball. Fortunately, the team could still play without me and they played well enough to advance to the next rounds! The tournament usually spans a weekend, but this year it's occupying two weekends since less people can be at the pool hall at a given time (COVID social distancing and health + safety protocols).
We are currently waiting to play our next match on Friday night and it's win or go home from that point forward. The best my team has ever made it is to the semifinals, so here's hoping we can pass that this year! Would be so cool to qualify for Nationals!
