Last Weekend

I'm barely getting around to blogging about last weekend and a new one is here already.

We started out our weekend by going across the street to McCormick & Schmick to enjoy their happy hour special. We got burgers and fries for $2.95!

Saturday Gabriela had a play date with her little friend Keady from day care. They went to a soft play place at the mall, and really played hard! Running around, crawling under stuff, exploring, playing with other kids. Gabriela was sound asleep before we even left the parking lot.

That night we went to our friend Eugenia's surprise birthday party where we enjoyed fabulous conversation with old friends, met some new ones, and sipped on delicious mojitos. (I only had one) Gabriela was a party animal. She stayed awake until like 11 pm, socializing the whole time. By the end of the night, she passed out in her Ergo Carrier. Even though she woke up for about 3o minutes around 8 am the next morning, she went right back to sleep and we didn't wake up again until after 11:30! We woke up to find that Daddy had fixed us breakfast. Is there any better way to wake up on Sunday morning?

Our totally aweome friends Sean & Jess came over on Sunday evening to watch Gabriela while Lane and I had a date night. We got dressed up and walked across the street to Morton's Steakhouse where we enjoyed red wine and filet mignon for dinner. We caught the tail end of restaurant week so we had a fabulous 3 course meal for a steal of a deal.

While we had our little date we overheard the guy in the booth next to us talking. It was your typical everyday conversation you know, "Sure, just as long as the helicopter is back in time to pick me up, that's fine". The guy knew all the servers by name and they joked about how money wasn't any issue to him. Okay, Mr. Fancy Pants, who are you anyway?!?! The server told us he was some guy way up on the ladder at Boeing. He said another time some guy came into the bar and said he'd had a really bad day because he just lost 3.5 million dollars. I guess we didn't really fit in there, but we still enjoyed our dinner.
