Today is officially mine and Vance's 5 year anniversary. We went to dinner at Olive Garden and had dessert at Outback. It was good company and good food.
On Saturday morning I surprised Vance by being ready for the day at 8 a.m. when he got home from work. He had no idea what was going on. Can I just tell you how hard it is to pack on our schedule?!?! We are with each other all day until I go to work around 4 p.m. till about 11:30 p.m. When I get home everyone is asleep and so I finally go to sleep about 1:00. Than Vance wakes up and goes to work at 2:00 a.m. and gets home around 7:30 or 8:00. a.m. Yes I'm still asleep and so are the kids. So really there is not much time to pack. The point of that story was I had to tell Vance what was going on because I still had a bunch of things to put together.
We took the kids to my parents for a "Slumber Party" that's what I told Ethan. Than we went to Olympia's Farmers Market and got some crab cake Benedict. That's right a Crab Cake on top of a wheat English muffin, with an egg on top and hollendaise sauce. Oh my GOSH they are so good. After breakfast we headed to Seattle. We hit PSYCHO traffic 20 min before Seattle and crawled all the way into town.
Stopped at the hotel and decided it was safest to Valet Park the car. We headed into the hotel to find out we have 2 hours before our room will be ready. I think any other day we would have just ran outside to find something to do, but we were both so exhausted from no sleep. We walked around a mall, bought $10 pair of sunglasses and headed back to the hotel.
Here we are attempting to take a nap in the hotel lobby. Thank goodness they had sweet comfortable chairs. I think I actually did fall asleep.
Vance attempting a nap as well.
So finally we were able to go to our room and this is what we find. Yes I think this is the nicest hotel I've stayed in. It was fabulous.
Here is the sweet TV and set up. below is the hidden mini bar??? :)
We were on the 20Th floor and this was our view. Very cool.
So you would have thought a 30 min nap downstairs would have been enough, but I guess not because as soon as we got into out room we hit the sack and slept for 2 hours. AHHH naps with NO noise. It was Fabulous. By this time we were starving and remembered seeing a Cheesecake Factory up the street. So we headed out on foot to have some grub. I've never been to the Cheesecake Factory...... I know I know can you believe it? Anyway it was really good, WAY over porptioned food, but good. I think I ate 1/8 of my pasta. We did save room for a cheesecake to share. We had the Dulce De Leche!!!! Oh MY GOSH!!!! We were in heaven, best cheesecake or better yet BEST dessert I've EVER had!!!! After dinner we packed our 3 to go boxes, Why we even attempted to save anything I have no idea, we did give the dude standing outside begging some. We decided to go drop the food off and head to a movie. Vance really wanted to see Indiana Jones. It was good just not worth $10 a person good.
After the movie we headed back to the hotel and watched some TV. While we were watching TV we both decided on something, WE Needed MORE Dulce De Leche!! That's right Vance headed back to the Cheesecake Factory and got another piece!!!! I loved IT!!!
