April Birthdays

For our April birthday event we had a lovely lunch and tour at the Wrigley Mansion.  We paid $46 for lunch and the tour, which I thought was a bit steep, but fun nonetheless.

Lunch menu from Geordie's Restaurant inside the mansion.

No girlie lunch is complete without bubbles!

Romaine wrapped in prosciutto with rosemary crostini, melted baby heirlooms, smoked Parmesan with garlic honey dressing.  Wowzers.

Wrigley Mansion club sandwich with turkey, bacon, pesto mayo, smoked Parmesan, Bibb lettuce, & heirloom tomatoes.  It was supposed to come on Brioche, but I requested it on ciabatta. 

Sweet potato fries & mixed greens were brought out for us all to share. 

Ridiculously good flour-less chocolate cake.

The very lovely right side of the table.

And the left.

Trish & Julie, two of the birthday girls!

Leah, another birthday girl!

I took quite a few pictures of the tour, but I won't torture you with all of them. We didn't get to see every room because a wedding party was prepping in some of the rooms.  I very much enjoyed the tour and would like to go back and see all of it.  My only complaint was that the tour wasn't just for our group, it was for a larger group.  That made it hard to get in and out of all of the rooms and listen to what the tour guide had to say.  The tour guide herself was incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable. 

Phoenix view at the top of the mansion.

I love the spiral open staircase at the entryway.

The operator room at the front of the mansion; neat.

Christy demonstrating the in-house phone booth.  Apparently for all those secretive calls.

Mrs. Wrigley had a VERY blue bathroom, complete with a sitting area.

I loved all the gorgeous hallways.  Most of the furniture was original as well.

The piano was so neat; jukebox included.

Another successful birthday event.  Check out the Wrigley Mansion when looking for something new and interesting to do in Phoenix.
