Birthday Staycation

Are you tired of my birthday posts yet? Tough. Cause I like to celebrate all. month. long.

Clint turned out to be sick last Monday, so our plans to go to the Big Picture for a movie and a bite to eat  on my actual birthday got postponed. Instead, I stayed home and ordered Pagliacci all to myself and binge-watched some tv on Netflix (best birthday ever, in my opinion). Clint felt bad though, so he made it up to me with a surprise stay at the W hotel downtown on Saturday.

We got there in the afternoon and were able to check in to our room right away. The room was amazing (forgot to take a picture), and with floor to ceiling windows, the view was awesome.

Clint had brought some champagne, so we drank that in our room.

aww, favorite <3

We headed downstairs to have a drink in the lobby bar while we decided on where to go for dinner. We were close to Sazerac, Purple, the Capital Grill…although, once it started to SNOW, walking anywhere didn't sound so fun. So, we cozied up next to the fire and ordered some sushi, pulled pork sliders, and roasted brussel sprouts.

It was fun to watch the snow fall and people watching as everyone stopped inside to get out of the cold. We eventually called it a night, and headed back upstairs.

The next day, we took advantage of late check out before we got ready for the day and walked across the street to Starbucks. After coffee, we drove down to the waterfront and had lunch at Red Robin, yum.

It was such a fun getaway without actually having to get away. Thanks, Favorite!
