The weekend of January 12th Gene and I checked into the Grand America Hotel. Gene had won the Romance Package which included a night's stay in the executive suite, dinner credit, spa and valet parking. This is the same hotel that the President stayed at when he visited, and our only 5-star hotel. Can I just say that the service was impeccable. At check-in we were greeted by the concierge holding a silver tray with bottled water and warm cookies. Around every turn a staff member greeted us by name. It was a little creepy, but kind of felt like royalty. Anywho, our dinner was great and the breakfast was fabulous and our hotel room was...WOW! We stayed up til 2am just enjoying our surroundings and ordering room service. It was a lot of fun and very "romantic". Thanks sweetie!
The front lobby at the Grand America Hotel.
Waiting for us in the sitting room of our suite was this personalized letter, roses & a plate of white chocolate swans filled with berries & truffles.
The view from the sitting room looking into the bedroom. I loved their color scheme!
The view (NE) from our 16th floor balcony.
Looking through the vanity/dressing room into the marble bathroom.
That's me taking the picture and Gene watching TV.
Of course the best part of the entire stay is that it was FREE! Oh,... and being with my hubby (haha). :) The next week we celebrated my birthday--kind of a bitter-sweet day for me. For some reason the thought of turning another year older while being pregnant gave me an emotional breakdown for a moment. I'm so feeling old and fat right now! And actually I've only gained 18 pounds with this pregnancy. The due date being February 19th, it could be any day now--post Superbowl party please! No name yet, but we have narrowed it down to two... weigh in with your opinion:
Sophia Lynn or Morgan Lynn???
