A week of birthday fun ended with the plague.
#1 son added a year to his experience on earth. what's in the box?
A red fez, bunch of duct tape, a giant cowbell and a stick of Vermont Smokehouse Pepperoni!
#2 has been down for about almost a week, but he still manages to smile through it all. Even when the Dr sticks his finger to take blood, he giggles, smiles and laughs.
He did find something useful to do with the duct tape.
Western night at the Austin Cotillion.
To close out birthday week, took #1 son and some friends out for lunch. He chose Gourdough's and it was a wise decision.
He requested we sit in the biergarten. I sat at the table by myself, while the boys spent most of their time enjoying the warm winter weather with games.
Date Night:
We attempted to attend an event at TRACE, but after an odd encounter with the hostess, we left. We always enjoy HH at Peche'. Kat had a milkshake that had absinthe in it.
I've tried absinthe... I can't recommend it. The guys sitting next to us had this absinthe setup. Their claim, "it makes you feel like you're in a Bollywood movie!".
We had our dinner at Sullivan's (we had one more certificate to use). The specialty house cocktails were way too sweet.
We each had the $39 prix fixe. While the calamari app was generous, there was this thick sticky syrup all over it. once again, too much sweet.
Cesar salad was OK, and French Onion soup was pretty good.
Steak was cooked to perfection. My main complaint about Sullivan's, the excessive prices on regular grocery store wine. Their price per glass is equal to the price of a whole bottle off the shelf at your local Safeway.
and the rest of the weekend was spent at Doctor's offices, and in bed with fever and stomach flu. #1 son managed to escape any illness, we sent him to Nana's house to avoid catching whatever plague we have been sharing.
