David and I enjoyed a wonderful anniversary celebration. Thanks to Mom & Dad for watching the kids so we could escape for some much needed R&R. We stayed at The Grand Hotel in historic downtown McKinney. We enjoyed a wonderful meal at Rick's Chophouse. Shortly after we were seated, Rick himself stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary and let us know that dessert was his treat. The food, atmosphere, and service were all amazing. After dinner we relaxed in their very classy lounge and listened to live music. The picture above is us enjoying our cocktails in a big, comfy leather chair.
Although we looked forward to sleeping in this morning, we found ourselves awake at 6am. This was partly due to the skylight in the room and partly due to habit and expecting a child to wake up at any moment! We did manage to go back to sleep for a little while and then took our time getting ready and checked out. We walked around the square for a bit, but then opted to go somewhere air conditioned - whew, it was hot!!
We headed towards home and on the way stopped in Allen at the new shopping center we had heard about. We ate at Brio which was quite good. For dessert, the waitress surprised us with a couple of scoops of the most amazing gelato. (It helps to mention you're celebrating your anniversary ... free dessert twice this weekend!)
What a nice little "getaway" and chance to focus on "us" and reflect on the past 4 years. They sure have been busy ... and wonderful!
