Just got back from a week long trip to the Pacific Northwest with stops in Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver (my fave). I haven’t downloaded our pics yet so for now, here’s a post I meant to publish before we left but got caught up in a flurry of packing…<\/p>\n

August is an eventful month in our household. First Rob & I celebrated our fourth (!!!) anniversary back on August 9th. And a few days later on the 13th Rob turned 34. So of course we took this opportunity to splurge on ourselves. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

On the night of our anniversary, we had dinner at Napa Rose<\/a> in Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel.<\/p>\n

It was our second time dining at Napa Rose and it was a fantastic experience. We sat at the chef’s counter in full view of the kitchen…<\/p>\n

It was so cool to see the workings of the kitchen and all the interaction between the chefs.<\/p>\n

Love all the little Disney touches!<\/p>\n

Then that weekend we took a very last minute trip to Las Vegas. This time we stayed at the Cosmopolitan at the City Center…<\/p>\n

And had a fabulous view of the Strip!<\/p>\n

I really liked staying in the City Center area – it was central to so much shopping (pretty much the primary reason I love Las Vegas) and dining (the secondary reason).<\/p>\n

I have a tendency to take Las Vegas for granted. I’m trying to be better at soaking in the atmosphere and appreciating the city’s energy.<\/p>\n

For Rob’s birthday, we had the tasting menu at Scarpetta<\/a>. WOW. Definitely one of our top 5 meals EVER. In life. Amazing.<\/p>\n

We capped off the weekend with brunch at Bouchon<\/a> (as per usual). Rob’s expression says it all. As the saying goes, work hard play hard. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
