Hotel Monaco, gold fish for the guests upon request
I surprised Chris over the weekend with a night without the kids in the city hanging out with some of our great friends. There wasn't a birthday or anniversary to celebrate. Nothing formal at all. I simply wanted Chris to know how much he means to me (OK, no more mushy stuff). Before dinner we actually went to a bar for pre-dinner drinks and pomme frites. I know, get out! And, no we were not the oldest people in the bar. Felt good!
For dinner, we met our friends out for Ethiopian. We've been trying to get together with this bunch for a while now because they are awesome people for one thing but also we knew they would really get into what this type of food and atmosphere have to offer. Chris and I had not been in years and it's a crying shame because it's really worth going to much more often. I love the communal concept. The idea is that you order a bunch of food that is placed on a communal tray which is put in the middle of the table. You then dig in using a special type of spongy, sourdough bread as utensils. And to top off things, we had live music which just made the night perfect. Thanks guys!
OMG...we were able to sleep through the night. No screaming baby at 2 am or 4 year old quietly crawling in to bed with us at 5 am. Just the two of us snoring 'til we woke ourselves up. We slept in until around 8 am which seemed like an eternity! Then breakfast....just the two of us. Adult conversation. Wow! It was nice!
