Meandering, Strolling and Admiring

My perfect day in Fountain Hills is getting up early, catching a cup of coffee at Mountainside Coffee Company and doing a few laps around the Fountain. I grab a great bagel and fresh-squeezed OJ at DJ’s Bagels and head to the Community Center, where I relax at a table behind the Center reading the paper. I spend some time appreciating the artwork placed around and in the Center. Meandering down the Avenue of the Fountains, I poke around the shops picking out a cactus picture book from Gridley’s for my afternoon excursion to the rustic botanical garden at the top of Kingstree. Back to check out the River of Time Museum, then a lazy lunch at CopperWynd on the patio, of course. An evening glass of wine and a light dinner as I listen to the musicians and muse at the view at the VU.

 

Exercising the Senses

My perfect day in Fountain Hills would start with coffee at Mountainside Coffee with my guest, three rounds around Fountain Park, a workout at Smart Bodies and a snack at the Octagon Café. After showering, we would shop for southwestern gifts on the Avenue of the Fountains, pick out a casual new top at Crystal Blues or Fountain Fashions, and relax with a milk shake at Chocofin Chocolatier. A manicure and pedicure at Villa Toscana Day Spa would top off the day, which we would celebrate with a glass of wine at sunset at Grapeables.
