This post I have to give props to Michael for one of the best weekends I've ever had in my life. A few weeks back I suggested that we go to a Braves game because I had never been to one (well, one that I remembered going to). Last week Michael came home and told me that he bought us two tickets for a game and booked a room at the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta for this past Saturday night. I could hardly believe it! We haven't so much been in a rut lately, but we have been comfortable not doing much of anything, especially during the weekends. I was so excited I could hardly stand it.
Friday night Michael put together the crib and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I think it's finally hit Michael that this little guy will be here before we know it. Saturday morning we got up and dropped Sam off at Jared's house and hit the road. We got to Atlanta around 2:00 their time, checked in, and then walked a few blocks down to a micro brewery for lunch. Lunch was great and Michael was pumped because he got to have his first Dog Fish Head 90 minute IPA. I snuck in a sip and have to say, it's probably one of the best beers I've ever tried. After lunch, we were going to do a little shopping, but it started pouring and I started feeling bad, so we just went back up to the room.
Well, I had never stayed at a Ritz before and it was so over-the-top. You walk in and you're greeted by around 10 different people offering to help you in any way possible. The room was amazing, the sheets were plush, there were feather pillows, and a great view. I took a little cat-nap and then we got ready to go to the game. The Braves game was so much fun and we had great seats. Plus, it was a night game so it wasn't too hot and I really was able to sit back and enjoy everything...especially a hot dog and pretzel :)
After the game, it took us awhile getting out of the parking lot, so we didn't get back to the hotel until around 11:00. We ordered room service just because we felt like it. It was glorious.
The next morning, Michael got up early and snuck out to get us Starbucks. Michael was incredible. Everything was about me and doing stuff that I wanted to do, and making sure I was comfortable and happy. After the coffee, we got dressed and went downstairs to the most elaborate breakfast buffet. There was an omlet station! We were super cool once again and had our breakfast on the terrace of the Ritz.
After we checked out, we wanted to stop off at IKEA on the way home because it's awesome and Michael had never been before. We were like kids in a candy store. We got a few kitchen things and bought a stand-up lamp for our living room. We plan on coming back when we actually have money, a game-plan, and measurements. I still don't think Michael understands how much I needed that weekend getaway and how much I appreciated everything he did. It was a great babymoon!! I feel rested and ready to get this show on the road :)
