HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Our Anniversary was great. We left the house arou 11 am and had a really nice drive into Olympia, just talked A LOT and joked and listened to non Livie music. lol Went straight to the movie theater to find out times, pre-bought our tickets to Narnia and debated over lunch. My man has been hard-core craving Round Table for about....oh geez I guess it's been 9 or 10 months. So we hit the buffet they have there which was a real treat. Went and checked in at our hotel. Called the Govenor Hotel, it was pretty nice, a little dated, but the fact that we were on the 7th floor with a GREAT view of the capital, Sylvester Park and Capital Lake was fantastic. Could even hear a musician down in the park playing his trumpet for a bit. Great breeze coming in from the sliding glass doors...really nice. Watched cable which was huge for us (no cable at home) and just chilled. Went to our movie (pretty good flick) and came back to the apartment to wait for dinner crowds to thin. We were going to go to a resteraunt there in olympia named Tugboat Annies we've been dying to go to,,,but then got a whiff of the BBQ smoker outside.
NOw, there's a BBQ place off the highway that is really well known and supposed to be AMAZING that we wanted to go to, but bless their hearts, during our big storn a muslide went right through the building. Went downstairs in our hotel and low and behold...it's that resteraunt!!!!! Tugboat Annies went out the door. We ordered our food and took it to our room... rich got a really good stead, potatoes and amazing baked beans (which neither of us really is a big fan of, me in particular) i got beef brisquet, potatoe salad, coleslaw. All was great, holy cow!!! yummmmmmmy. oh, they also have THE best BBQ sauce i've ever tasted. mmmm good.
anyhow, watched more cable (okay, i don't think we hardly got off the history channel) until around 12 that night and crashed. Had our complimentary breakfast buffet, pretty good stuff. and headed out for our doctors appointment. Got lunch before heading home to baby girl who we were missing pretty hard core by then. :-)
Returned home to a chocolate cookie smeared and encrusted baby who was thrilled and obsorbed by her brand new season 3 scooby doo dvd compliments of nana on their outing the day before.
Best anniversary to date. We got to relax and have FUN with each other, got to go and do whatever we wanted and just had a really good time alone. Well needed.
