This weekend David and I were blessed to be able to have a little get-away to downtown Minneapolis. Our daycare was closed for President's day so we asked Grandma (and Grandpa) to watch the kids and figured if they were coming up they might want to come early and watch the kids for the weekend (good logic, right?!). We know Grandparents never mind watching the kids an extra day. So on Saturday afternoon David and I headed out for our mini vacation. This is the first time we have left Samuel (earlier than we left Amelia by the way), but I was looking forward to some time away, a full night of sleep, and some R&R. Our weekend started by watching Fireproof on Friday night (at our house) by the way this is a wonderful movie!! It has some great points about relationships, marriage, and communication. I would highly recommend it. Saturday we went to a totally opposite and turned out somewhat depressing movie... Revolutionary Road. I had wanted to see it because of the Oscar buzz and the actors , but it is a rather depressing film. We have decided the two movies posed a compare and contrast scenario and did cause some great discussion. Next, we headed downtown to the Hilton. We got a room on the executive floor and enjoyed the view and the amenities. It was fun to just hang out in the hotel, watch TV, enjoy the pool, hot tub, and sleep!

Sunday we enjoyed a unique dining experience... The Melting Pot (a fondue restaurant) It was a lot of fun and less crowded than on Valentine's day. We enjoyed a four course meal ( 3 fondue courses- cheese, oil with meats and vegetable, dessert, and salad. ) My favorite was of course the flaming turtle chocolate fondue we enjoyed for dessert.
What a wonderful time away! It felt like we had really gone farther away than the 13miles we were from home. David, thank you for treating me to a wonderful weekend... you always treat me like a princess and you are my prince! (we are very into princess at our house right now!)
I promise the next post will have pictures of the kids!
