Tristan and I feel pretty strongly about not celebrating Valentines day. We prefer to remember that we love each other on every other day of the year (when not encouraged by Hallmark and mall-chain jewelry commercials). But, there we go, just being non-traditional again. Good thing we found each other! :)
That being said, we decided the best place to celebrate would be at the Busy Bee (a local dive bar) with disgustingly delicious garlic burgers. However, as it turned out, Tristan was getting sick and I only wanted mexican. So, we settled on a romantic dinner of Barbacoa, perfectly capped off with a chocolate shake from Carl's Jr.
However, last weekend we had a pre-baby get away. We stayed at our favorite hotel chain - The Hotel Monaco. Denali got to come along and a butler brought her a bed, dishes, treats, and a hand-written welcome letter. She has a tough life.
We had dinner at Bambara and it was FANTASTIC!
Any excuse to pamper yourselves is a good enough excuse for me. Sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteI totally support the anti-Valentine's day philosophy. Jason and I also think it is a bullshit holiday. We spent Valentine's day eating steak and watching Lost-it was perfect. Do they give the dog bed ect. to you in the end at Hotel Monaco? I had no idea they had such dog-friendly service!
