Desert Ridge Marketingplace

Beautiful Scottsdale Home Furnishings

You have got to see Desert Ridge Marketplace!! Not your typical shopping mall. This is a day out for the family, everyone is pleased in one place…How often does that happen? So, let me tell you a bit more about our fabulous day spent here.

We arrived Saturday morning and took advantage of the valet parking; they also have a shuttle that that stops throughout the marketplace.

We stopped at the children’s play area to run some energy out of the grandkids then were off to pottery painting to make a keepsake. By now, we were exhausted and ready to stop for lunch. We stopped a World O Noodles where they have something for everyone. I headed off to listen to some live music and Barnes and Noble, a cup of tea was just what I needed! Grandpa and the kids were off to the rock wall and a movie.

We all met back to the California Pizza Kitchen for some dinner and share about our wonderful day….

Next time, date night for us …no kids…dinner at Salute’ and dancing at Scorch Bar!! Learn more about great things to do in Scottsdale, Arizona at www.scottsdalerealestateteam.com.
