The Henry is our closest restaurant to the northwest. It is walking distance and you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Breakfast is barista made coffees and pastries or order and sit down dining. It is a little different look for a restaurant with more of a home feel. Everyone likes the roomy open feel of the Henry. Indoor or outdoor fining available.

This mall is amazing with an upscale area and all the basics too from an Apple store to Lululemon, Madewell, Jimmy Choo and all others in between. This mall is here to stay. There is dining including a food court with 10-ish options, sightseeing and people watching to be had. Get a Starbuck's drink and stay as long as you want. Walking laps in the summer months here is a good way to stay cool and get your blood pumping activity too!

Climb Camelback Mountain! For a fit person, it is about an hour up and an hour back down. DO NOT GO MID DAY IN THE SUMMER. Only go at sunrise in the summer and take plenty of water. You need to turn around once you have drank half of the water you took with you. People are rescued by helecopter year round for usually stupid things that they do. Do not go off trail, do not start out past 8am in the summer, take water, get off the mountain if you are feeling ill or overheated. Do NOT hike at night. There are no "lights" on the mountain in the dark and you will get stuck-most of the rescues are at night from absolutely.....it's coming....STUPID people.
