Anniversary Trip

Well, it wasn't exactly a trip if you define a trip by going out of town, but we did have a little getaway weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We headed to the Hilton on Friday night and after checking into our room and getting ready to go to the Old Spaghetti Factory, we realized we forgot our Muny tickets at home. Since we had riden the Metrolink down to the hotel, we had to ride it back out to our house. So we did and we got our tickets but we didn't have time for the Spaghetti Factory so we just got a quick bite at Q'doba instead. It was quite delicious. Then we headed back to the Muny and made it in time to see Fiddler on the Roof. Then we headed back to the hotel and got some delicous room service for dessert. It was quite the treat. Here are some pics from Friday-

Tasty coffee!

We slept in on Saturday and enjoyed a lunch (for Emily)/breakfast (for Nelson) at Einstein's before heading to the Chase to see the Dark Knight for the second time (again, totally worth it). Then we went to the Cathedral Basilica, a very amazing Cathedral that Nelson had never been to and I have only been to once in high school. The whole inside is basically mosaics and it is quite beautiful. Then we headed back to our hotel to hang out and rest till dinner. We went to Old Spaghetti Factory then and it was great. It is a very fun environment and tasty food. It is in a cool part of town (Laclede's Landing) so we enjoyed walking around and checking things out. We headed back to the hotel after a stop by the arch and then decided to get some more room service for dessert! It was great! Then we came back this morning-we almost didn't make it back because we were quite confused about the shedule of the metrolink and what line was running where, so thankfully my parents just came and picked us up and we were good to go. It was a great weekend and we had a great time together!

Nelson got ordained today as a deacon so after some lunch with my folks at Canyon Cafe, we got some delicious custard at the Custard Station to celebrate!
