Have you ever had someone come to visit you, but you had no idea where to take them or how to keep them entertained? It can be stressful at times trying to plan out the perfect weekend and show your friend the best parts of your town. Here's where I went and what we did when my friend from Florida visited Arizona State!
Take A Day Trip to Sedona, AZ
Slide Rock State Park in Sedona, AZ
Sedona is one of the most beautiful places in the world, in my opinion. And, the best part... it's only 2 hours from Tempe! We went to Slide Rock and cliff jumped for hours, ate at Famous Pizza (a personal favorite of mine), and ended the day walking around and walking into the shops downtown! My friend loved it, and it was nice to have a little getaway from the city.
Climb A-Mountain
One of the top things on my to-do list was to show my friend all of Tempe- and what better way to do that from A Mountain? It's an easy hike, with an amazing view of then entire city at the top. Finish the day with some food on Mill, and you're set for an amazing time.
Go To A Concert
Concerts are ALWAYS fun, and not always expensive! Do your research and you can definitely snag some tickets for a low price. I took my friend to the Jonas Brothers concert, and it was definitely the highlight of the trip. As you can see, we were pretty excited. But can you blame us?!?! IT WAS THE JONAS BROTHERS
Go Get Dinner
This may sound like an obvious activity, but seriously. There are so many amazing restaurants in Phoenix to choose from and it's always fun to go to a cute place and eat some bomb food... what more could ya ask for. I took my friend to Diego Pops in Old Town Scottsdale, and it's a 10/10. Definitely get the corn queso it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Relax and Just Have Fun
The last, and most important, is to just simply hangout with your friend lowkey and enjoy each other's company!!! I know it can be stressful having a friend come to visit; you want everything to go perfect and show her how cool your town is and how awesome YOUR LIFE is.. but i promise you that in the end, they came to hangout with YOU. So just have fun and don't worry about the small things!
I hope that this article helped you get just a few ideas of what to do with your friend! I know it helped me immensely when I had someone come to visit me, so enjoy your fun-filled weekend with them :)
