For Christmas this year, Eric got me tickets to a Martin Sexton concert and a hotel stay in Minneapolis. Unfortunately when he bought these, he didn't know that I would be recovering from mono or that we would have a brand new puppy. Luckily for us, my parents offered to take both Nolan and Miles for the long weekend. We left for Eau Claire on Friday morning. We dropped Nolan and Miles off with Grandma and Grandpa and headed onward to Minneapolis to get checked into our hotel. We decided to head out for Happy Hour and went to Masa, a upscale Mexican restaurant on Nicolet Mall. We had awesome food and drinks and a wonderful relaxing time. After our early dinner, we went back to the hotel so I could nap for a bit before our Martin Sexton concert. It was a good thing I got some rest because our concert ended up starting an hour late because Martin was busy greeting all his fans.
Part of my Christmas present also included a meal at our all-time favorite Minneapolis restaurant - Solera. Our dinner was fabulous. We had various Spanish tapas including quail, scallops (my favorite!) and anchovies. It was such a treat!
By Sunday morning I was anxious to get back to my babies, so after a quick Caribou coffee, we headed back for Eau Claire. They had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa! Nolan had yummy spaghetti for supper!
And Miles even helped Grandma with her homework!
It was such a great weekend, made even better by knowing my little ones were in great hands.
