Dunks in AZ

So, as many of you know, T and I are totally and completely addicted to coffee, specifically, Dunkin' Donuts coffee.  In New England, a Dunks can pretty much be found on any corner, literally.  The people who worked in the Dunks by our former home in Medford knew us by name (and of course knew our orders by heart) -- they would even get concerned when they hadn't seen us in a few days (often during a feeble attempt to save money and make coffee at home or work).  We were spoiled rotten by having a Dunks on every corner in New England.

T and I were ecstatic to learn a year ago that the Dunkin Donuts corporation was planning a massive expansion in the Phoenix market.  The Phoenix area would go from having about 12 stores in the Valley to 1,200 (ok, ok, I'm exaggerating, but a girl can dream, right?!)!  There is a Dunks that is currently under construction/renovation less than 2 miles from our Phoenix home.  We plan on being some of the first in line on the day it opens.  No joke.  

This brings me to one of our latest adventures...on an afternoon drive to go shopping in
 Scottsdale, T came up with the brilliant idea to search our GPS to find the nearest Dunks to our location.  We drove 10, yes 10, miles out of our way to find that Dunks and enjoy a tasty doughnut and two glorious iced coffees!!  It was totally worth the detour!
