Hello all! Posh hotel turned out to be fun. We got all dressed up, before we went to check in at the hotel. H made me leave my roses at home, but we took our anniversary cards to open at the restaurant. Then we drove over the restaurant. It was cold and misty or we could have walked. I was wearing my “dress-I’d-never-wear”, which caused every head to turn when I took off my coat at the restaurant. I had my hair all curled and tousled, which my H thinks is dead on sexy. (I just think it looks messed up.)
The food was great, and the wine was good. The conversation was light. It was just nice. We didn’t like the dessert menu, so we headed back to the hotel. The rain was still coming down steadily and our hotel did not have a garage. Fortunately, I know my way around all of the tunnels, skywalks and back hallways of the downtown area. By the time I led my H through a maze of the parking garage and two different hotels, we had gone three blocks completely protected from the elements and only had to cross the street to get to the front door of our own hotel. H was impressed.
We ordered dessert in the hotel restaurant and headed upstairs to watch television. H really did like the room, especially the very comfortable bed. H got a real kick out of the shower, which was made for tall people. (I had to stand on tiptoes to adjust it for me.
We both slept great. I woke H up this morning to ML, then we sat in bed reading the paper and drinking coffee. We had a little hassle with getting the comp certificate honored (I won the room in a raffle) and the parking validated, but afterwards we went to breakfast. On the whole we got out of the entire anniversary celebration for the cost of a nice dinner; and breakfast at our favorite greasy spoon diner. H loves a bargain; and he loved the part where I took care of getting the comp straightened out.
All in all we thought it was a good anniversary. Ciao!
