Weekend Away

Joel and I ended up opting not to drive out the the vineyard Saturday, because our babysitter could only stay until 9:45 on Sunday, and we didn't want to have to get up early to make the one and a half hour drive back home to be back by then. So we stayed uptown at the Marriott for 2 nights, saw 2 movies (Flight and Argo), and I read 3/4 of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. We ate at BLT Steak, which was awesome, and we ate at Enso (an Asian restaurant), and we had dessert at Bar Cocoa, a "chocolate bar" in the Ritz Carlton, and we had appetizers and drinks at The Wooden Vine, and generally spent a lot of time eating and relaxing ;) The kids seemed to have a great time while we were away! Today Ben is off for Veteran's Day and being a bit of a bored nuisance, and Caroline woke up at 5am and had an hour and a half long scream fest, so it was good to get away and recharge the batteries for a weekend ;) They are already starting to deplete again, LOL...
