New Years Weekend (Counting Down)

Lisa and I have been staying at a Marriott in Creve Couer, Missouri for the the last two days. It's been pretty fun. We went to see Marley & Me yesterday. We also went to the Borders book store right next to the hotel. I got Born Standing Up by Steve Martin and replaced Solomon Kane that a friend from work kept (bastard!). I'm flying through Steve Martin's book. Like most things from Steve it's awsome. We had dinner last night at Macaroni Grill which sucked. They "misplaced" our ticket and the food took about an hour to getto us. Rob, our waiter, brought Lisa her wine in a juice type tumbler.

Today we went to downtown St Charles for some last time shopping on Main Street. We've never really had the luxury of spending money while we've been here so it's been fun and we probably over did it a little more than we should. There is a purse store on Main Street and Lisa had her eye on a few bags, so she finally got them. We got some interesting spices and hot sauce for a gourmet shop too.

We ate at Allin's Diner for breakfast this morning. It a great diner that was right around the block from our house on Houston Street. It's always busy and looked really cute. It was great food, and we both agreed that we should have tried it sooner. Best of all it's smoke free which is rare around here.

We went to the Galleria Mall off of I-17o and Brentwood Ave and walked around a little. It's a nice place but just another mall. Right now Lisa is swimming in the pool at the hotel. I've never met anyone who loved to swim as much as that girl. She's been in the pool at least three times since we checked in.

Tomorrow we'll take it easy, see another movie (probably Seven Pounds) and then have New Years eve dinner at PF Changs by the Chesterfield Mall.
