The weekend away was wonderful. Oh, technically it was just one night away but it felt like a weekend.
How awesome is my husband? He found the perfect inn and somehow managed to get it written up in the local paper this week. He planted said article where I'd see it on Thursday and hope that's where we were going. But of course I couldn't tell him that because it was totally unfair to expect him to do all of that. It was totally awesome when we stayed in the now famous inn.
We didn't get to eat at the super famous restaurant but we did eat at one of the chef's other places in town. In fact, we ate at the same one that was in all the gossip columns recently when that new Hollywood couple was in town (RW and JG are their initials). We did *see* the oh-so-famous and expensive restaurant and dream of the night that we'll dine there.
We also went to COPIA which was oh so heavenly. I've been wanting to go forever but it's never worked out. Well, it worked out great on Sunday. We had a nearly private wine tasting class and thoroughly enjoyed the gardens and the gift shop.
Monday was back to the grind. Oh and the stirrups. I had my CD10 ultrasound and blood-work. Lining? A lovely 7-8 mm triple stripe. Dr Local was thrilled. Garden State is happy. One more set on Friday (unless Garden State decides they don't need more) and I leave for the Keystone State on Monday. In SIX days.
It is totally surreal now. I can't believe I'm actually cycling much less this soon. My tickets are purchased. I've even got a hotel room booked in the Big Apple for a long weekend with the Red Headed Momma. I get to stay with the lovely Liana and amazing Zara before that I'm hoping to hang with the Philly gals (Statia and Clover, this means YOU). Then go home for a Southern Christmas with my family and friends in NC. It really doesn't get much better.
I am a lucky, lucky woman.
Congrats on the triple stripe lining. Hope it continues to go well from this point,
J

Horray for a triple stripe! You sound so happy! And how sweet is that husband of yours. Do you think you could have him give mine a few lessons? I so hope that this cycle continues to go well.

You go, girl...! And just to think that you may have licked the same spoon as ol' Jakey makes me loins quiver... sort of. Were that my crazy beautiful monkey Joaquin, well...
