Last weekend G and I had a rare weekend away from home to
celebrate our anniversary. We had close friends watch our dog and left
right after I was done work Friday afternoon.
We had an
amazing time and completely spoiled ourselves with awesome food. All you can
eat sushi? Denny’s for breakfast?! Costco icecream cones! We are easy to please
lol
Saturday
evening we had our big date, which included tickets to see the Regina Symphony
perform Carmina Burana. And let me tell you: Saskatchewan can bring it. They
had a choir of over 350 accompanying the orchestra, and when the opened up
with O Fortuna, I was completely blown away. By the ending reprise I was in
tears, it was so beautiful. G and I have always enjoyed going symphonies so I
was really happy the timing worked out for us to be able to go when we were in
the city.
Sunday we
were able to take our time getting ready in the morning and after checking out
we did our grocery shopping before heading back home. I was able to redeem $120
worth of PC points and only had to spend a little over $9.00 on groceries at
the Superstore. Woohoo! Sadly though we spent pretty much that same amount (the
$120 not $9 haha) stocking up on meat at Costco. But I guess it’s grilling
season and even though it cost a lot all at once it’s a hell of a lot cheaper
that purchasing it at the grocery store here. So at least we are stocked for a
long while.
Overall
it was really lovely to get away, even if it was for the weekend. It was nice
to get all ready and excited for our date. That sounds so lame but I’m glad
I still have these feelings after 8 years of being together J

A weekend away can do wonders for your overall well being. I love going away for the weekend even though that seems to rarely happen anymore with kids.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that G was a lot more relaxed during and after the trip. I think he really needed that time away from work to decompress.
DeleteThat sucks about the kids :( Are you guys near any family that would take them for the weekend?
Sounds like a wonderful weekend. Togetherness time is so valueable and you both needed to get away from home, if only for a few days. That choir must have sounded amazing!
ReplyDeleteThose few days were just perfect and the right amount of time. :) It was just nice to go to the city and not feel so rushed trying to get all of our running around done
DeleteThat sounds like a great weekend away. My parents came down to visit this weekend so we did some touristy stuff. It was nice to be out and about in our newish city (been here 2 years but still feel pretty new).
ReplyDelete'Stay-cations' are the best! I know so many people who live in Toronto yet have never been up on the CN tower. If anything I think they would appreciate it more because they would be able to spot different streets more easily than someone who isn't from there. It's fun to be a little touristy :)
