Weekend Getaway!

Our 2nd annual anniversary getaway weekend was a success!!
We decided to go to Columbus - not sure how we came to that decision, but we wanted to get away to a hotel for a weekend without any obligations one last time before the baby is born. Katy Cronin graciously took Sammi for the weekend - but we missed her - isn't that crazy!?!? We left for Columbus after work on Friday which ended up being like 6:30...had to take 2 cars since I have to stay down here for work this week, so the drive was pretty boring but made decent time until we got here. Our hotel was in the Arena District - The Lofts. Well neither of us have done much in Columbus to know the area and so we had to drive around the Arena District for a little while before finding the hotel - it's a really neat area!! Turns out it was hard to find because it's such a small hotel - just 44 rooms - it was pretty awesome though - old renovated lofts - exposed brick, high ceilings, etc. really neat. We thought we'd walk down to the area where more restaurants were to eat dinner but when we got a few blocks I realized I wasn't feeling up to treking it for the evening, so we went back and ate at the Max and Erma's in our hotel. Saturday we slept in a bit, watched a bit of the Tour de France and then headed to Easton for a little shopping. It was hot hot hot, so we tried to stay in the AC for the most part and plus I again wasn't up for as much walking as I hoped to - getting wiped out pretty quickly these days. But we had a great day shopping and went to see Inception at the movie theater there -- very good movie -- and eventually headed back to the hotel and dinner at a nice seafood restaurant by our hotel (again not up for walking towards the action haha). Sunday we slept in but ordered breakfast room service so ate breakfast in bed! Had to check out at noon, and headed up to Polaris area where my hotel is for my work week. Luckily were able to check in here early, then headed over to Polaris Mall for a little more spending :) Olive Garden for Lunch, lazy all day watching TV, Panera for dinner and then AJ headed home. Now I am bored. haha. A weekend full of all those things we won't get to do for a while. Including being bored :) This week I have clinical manager training for work so I am still in Columbus. I don't like being here by myself being so super pregnant, but I am assuring myself I still have 5 weeks and everything will be fine. Just in case, my mom is coming to stay with me on Tuesday :) I am hoping/not hoping - not really sure what I hope -- But Annual State Survey is expected to show up at work any day. Probably in the next 2 weeks...so if they do show up this week, we're not sure if they'll send me back to help out or if they'll have me stay to get my orientation done. So in a way I want them to show up and send me home so I can be at home, but as AJ reminded me, I'll have to do this eventually so I should get it done with now before there is a baby at home that I would have to leave - which is a good point!! So I kind of hope State comes but I get to stay here. Either way I want State to come because we are all sick of waiting for it!! Hmm I think I am blabbering. I guess I'll go back to watching pointless TV until it gets late enough that I feel I might actually fall asleep :) Here's to a good - I HOPE - week and a safe return home to the long haul of my FINAL month of pregnancy :) CANNOT WAIT TO MEET HER!!!!!!!!
