After sleeping in till way way late on a Saturday rainy morning, I cleaned the apartment and then got all dolled up as requested by the love of my life who simply sent me an email in the morning saying we had dinner reservations at 8 and for me to be ready.
Ready I was.
As soon as he arrived he whisked me away in a red and white limo (a la OC Transpo) and we got off somewhere downtown, walked a few more blocks and then got in the elevator at the Marriott hotel and made our way to the 28th floor for our dinner reservations at Merlot, the rooftop revolving restaurant. Having only heard me talk of it when I read him the draft of two homes. Taking two hours to revolve around, Nao'r and I had a most delicious steak dinner and some lovely beverages, and unbelievable service. I did however advise the the Maitre'D on the mistake in the wine menu that indicated that Pelee Wine was from Niagara-a big NO NO!!!
So I can strike it off my list- I went to the revolving restaurant and soaked in every second of the view! Thanks babe!
We capped off the evening with drinks and some duelling pianos at Fat Tuesday's (leaving only after they played my request- ahem Brown Eyed Girl obviously), then on to 18 for another nightcap. another drink then off to Casino Lac Leamy for a chance with Lady Luck... and we didn't lose money.
Sunday started off with us visiting our old stomping ground- starting with breakfast at Father and Sons- then a stroll through U of Ottawa campus... making our way tot he classroom where it all started 8 years ago...Nao'r even asked some passersby to take our picture on the steps of Tabaret Hall where we had our class together in Rm 333... It was a hell of a class... but I'm pretty glad I took it!
This weekend was amazing... I don't know how else to describe it...blissfully perfect.
Shout-out to Robin and Mark- we stopped in at their new house for a short visit- many laughs were shared among great friends...
now... let the work-week begin! meh
