A night away....

All by myself that is. It was wonderful and a great surprise to say the least. Burt decided to book a room at the Renaissance for me on Friday night. I have not been able to do this for the past year since I needed to be here for Zachary, so he thought this was the perfect weekend after many weeks of craziness around here. I did not object. He came home a little early and sent me on my way. First stop was to the spa for a massage. The spa is so nice. You could actually stay there all day if you wanted. They have a steam room, a quiet room with whirlpool and snacks and drinks for you to indulge in. The massage was great and the quiet room was bliss. I sat there for many a minutes for sure. I then went back to the room to freshen up to meet Burt for dinner. We enjoyed a nice meal and conversation before we headed our separate directions- me to the room and him to the apartment. I stayed up watching tv a little bit and then headed off to bed. I still woke up around 6am, but thankfully I was able to go back to sleep. I slept until about 8:30 or so and then kind of woke up so that when my room service came at 9ish I wouldn't look too horrible. :-) I ate a big breakfast while watching tennis, took my shower, dressed and then headed back to the spa. I hung out in the quiet room, falling asleep I think, until it was time for my pedicure. Yes, I was spoiled for sure. After the pedicure I sat in the quiet room a little while longer and then decided I had stayed there long enough and left to go run some errands before heading home. It was such a nice surprise and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks to my sweet husband for setting all of this up. Love you!
