For my birthday this year Cole thought it would be fun to go some where neither of us has gone. He did a great job of keeping it a secret, which if you know him is extremely hard to do. All I knew was that I had to be dressed and ready to go at 4:30 so that we could make our 6:30 reservation. I knew that we would be going with Christine and Sean, since Sean and I share a birthday. It was so much fun because Sean had no idea where we were going either. He was just given a map and told to drive. The map took us to Scottsdale so I knew we were definitely out of our element and we ended up in the Scottsdale Quarter. Which has to be the richest part of town in the valley! We made our way through all the fancy shops and arrived just in time at our destination....iPic Theaters!
This place had to be the fanciest movie theater that I've ever been too. It makes Harkins seem like a hole in the wall. I felt so out of place. The theater seats only about 50 people and everyone sits in recliners. Since Cole and my sister had made reservations we got VIP seating which meant bigger recliners and they would serve us dinner during the movie. We even got FREE popcorn during the previews. This place rocks! It makes going to the movies a whole new experience. I don't think I'll ever want to go to any other theater besides this one! The only down side is that is can be pretty pricey, but for a special occasion it's definitely worth it.
We saw The Hunger Games, which I'm sure most of you know was an awesome movie, and afterwards took a drive through Oldtown Scottsdale. We finished the night by stopping for ice cream at the Sugar Bowl. I had so much fun. I loved my night out on the town. I love being able to share my birthday with Sean since that guarantee's that I'll probably get to spend my birthday with one of my best friends, my sister. I can't wait to see what the two of them will think up for next year! HINT HINT :)
