Annniversary date night

So I really have absolutely no clue who reads this... but anyways if you do you already know that we had big plans for our anniversary... and they were almost ruined. See we were having our survey done on Friday and guess who comes to our door a few minutes before 6pm asking to be paid?!! If you guessed our surveyor you would be correct. So we had gotten him to knock $100 off the price by paying cash, but the cash was in the bank, I mean come on, who keeps that kind of cash on them unless you're a little old lady hiding it in your mattress?!! Most people don't now.
So I didn't think it was a big deal because I thought that he would give us some warning... well he didn't. Literally we were trying to walk out the door and get to our hotel and check in. Tim was very embarassed, he wouldn't take a check, blah blah blah. We all started freakin out and left and things were still really tense between Tim and I because we weren't able to pay him right away (though we could have had the guy realized it was 6pm on a friday night- hello banks aren't open on weekends!!). We left to go to our hotel and I suggested we stop by the bank and see how much money we can pull out of the atm... guess who's bank's drive thru was open?!! Ours- stcu!! Thank goodness. So we got the cash out, called the contractor, and told him that we would meet up on sat. Phew- ok major disaster avoided and we were able to go and enjoy our night now.
So we checked into our amazing room. We stayed at the Davenport Tower in their honeymoon suite. Ahh... see the giant jacuzzi- that's the reason why I got this room! We had dinner at the Melting Pot, went back to our room, then decided to go out for a little fun. We checked out the piano bar downtown and it was pretty funny being the only sober people in the bar besides the workers, lol. Oh well we danced a little and then headed back to our room. It was such a beautiful night and we were able to enjoy downtown a little.





Cheers to us! Our only room service order was a bottle of sparkling cider- $18- Yikes!!!!
The next morning we walked through the Davenport main hotel and took a self guided tour. It was amazing! All of the old rooms and molding and just everything! It's so neat! It's almost like you take a trip back in time. And of course we stopped in the gift shop to get some of their amazing soft peanut brittle- Yu-mmy!!! Then lunch at the Safari room in the Davenport Tower and back home to the monsters =) What a fun, relaxing time it was away just the two of us.

Sounds like you earned this nice, relaxing getaway! It looks fabulous, even though it started crazy with the surveyor. That is a hefty chunk of change! YIKES! Glad you relaxed and enjoyed the Davenport. It is so beautiful.

I am so glad you were able to get away. Sounds like you had a fun time. Good for you for taking the time for the two of you. Matt and I need to do that more and you have inspired me to make it happen, Thanks! Good Luck with all your projects and Tim being in school, I know it's hard, but it will be worth it when he is done (at least that's what I tell myself)!

Yes Katherine go get away from your boys! It will feel fabulous and refreshing and wonderful and then you will wonder why it took you so long to do it =)
