The first thing I did was take a nap, and Nick worked out. That night had a wonderful dinner at Fogo de Chao, a Brazilian steakhouse where waiters bring endless supplies of delicious meat along with a fresh salad bar with veggies and cheeses. It was fantastic. Then we went to The Nutcracker at the Fox Theater, which was great but also littered with small children.
The next day was all about shopping. Well, really browsing, because we didn't end up getting that much. We had some great salespeople who were giving us restaurant recommendations and cracking jokes with us, and we had some weird ones, like the guy who asked Nick "Why would you spray cologne on your clothes?" Obviously, we didn't buy any cologne from him...
That night we had Thai food at this great little local spot call Little Bangkok and went to a movie. I ate so much, I got a little ill, but it was worth it.
It was so nice to get away 'just because.' I am so grateful to Nick's parents for keeping Z so we could enjoy some time together. Sometimes it seems like we only talk about family or work, and it gave us a chance to talk about everything and nothing. I know, that sounds crazy, but I appreciated that.
Z had a big time back home with Nana and Tata. He got to open some of his presents early, including a basketball hoop that Aunt Talia got him. I know I am clearly a biased parent, but he was good with that thing. He already impressed us with his dribbling skills when we got him a basketball in Nashville, but with the hoop, he was shooting and scoring repeatedly, with good form. I'm just saying...
Doesn't he look relaxed?? He doesn't have a care in the world!
