We're Back

Our weekend may have started a day late, but we had a great time anyway. We got to our destination by lunch Saturday and so my hubby took me to Jack in the Box for my tacos. I cannot describe the joy I felt with each bite.

Then he took me to a near by Michael's to scrapbooks shop. I was in heaven. Michaels carries a lot of things that our local Hobby store does not. By the time I was done it was time to find our hotel and get changed for dinner.

Dinner was unforgetable. We drove around looking for something that would satisfy both of us and finally decided to try a nice looking place called Stoney River (I believe that was the name of it). It had valet parking! I was worried that maybe this place was a little to much for us. But upon entering we found it to be gormet casual dining. The prices scared me too, but my hubby reminded me that this was my special night so I ordered filet mignot. It was delicious.

What made this dinner unforgetable was my hubby's reaction when they brought the bread to the table. It was a small basket with the towel covering up the rolls. I as I uncovered them my usually very reserved hubby said, "No, it isn't!" really loud. The waitress even came over to our table thinking something was wrong. The rolls were a kind the had loved at a place in Rockingham. They were small poppyseed deep fried rolls with cinnamon butter. To say they were delicious would have been an understatement.

We spent the rest of the evening walking around a local huge mall. I purchased a few things, but nothing too major.

Sunday we were lazy. Sleeping in, watching t.v. and just relaxing. We decided to go shopping at another mall. It was really nice. I purchased some more clothes with the last of my birthday money and even bought my hubby some clothes and cologne. We went to dinner and then returned to the room. The only thing about our weekend that was not great was that we both ended up with a small stomach bug. My hubby wasn't feeling well when we left to go but thought it was something he had eaten. It turned out that it hung around until this morning. It hit me last night.

All in all it was a great weekend and I am so greatful that I got to recharge. I missed the kids desprately. I wanted to come home last night, but I got to feeling bad and just wanted to go to sleep.
