Tuesday was Mr.'s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! And he wanted to spend it with his grand-daughter. Heart melting .. I know. He has always been a family man .. it is one of my favorite qualities about him. We picked her up and did what we do before ANY activity .. eat. The menu options were noodles or pancakes and she picked .. noodles. So we went to one of our favorite kid friendly places Times Square. Man the food here is so incredible .. words can not express. And they even will make noodles and butter [off menu] for Maddy since she does NOT like sauce on her noodles. It is just a great place with great people serving great food. That should be their motto. Today we thought we were taking Maddy out to a new place Dave and Busters. It was a bit loud and slightly overwhelming for her at first. Then she started to warm up to the place. She was so funny as excited as she was to be there she did not want to play .. instead she chose a game and wanted us to play. She cheered and raised her hands and gave us a 'great job!' … she is so adorable. After taking Maddy home we were off to the movie theater to watch Seven at the Harkins as part of their Tuesday Classic Movie. Watching it on the big screen was incredible. Ahhhh .. remember when Brad and Gwen were an item.
Stick a fork in us .. we are worn-out. We choose this day to stay home and enjoy our quite and splendid abode. We would sit and watch something together .. then putter around outside .. then go to our mutual rooms for individual time [game playing for Mr. and reading and crafting for me]. I think these are the best kind of days.
I was so excited for Thursday to arrive. Like a kid bouncing around on Christmas day kind of excited. I was scrolling for activities around town and found that Dave Brubeck's sons are playing a one night concert at the MIM. WHHAAATTTT!! I found the sound of Dave's about 18 years ago or so. My absolute hands down favorite album ever is Time Out which out beats Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and American Prayer by The Doors. I am not too much of a concert person but I was super happy that we were able to get tickets. The show was so great .. the interaction with the audience was wonderful and the music was like BOOOM!! mind blowing. We thought tonight we would get a little dressed up and start our evening experience by going to a 'nicer' sit down place before we caught the show. Tonight we chose Maggianos in Scottsdale. Oh man what a lovely place. The restaurant was so charming and classic .. the food was amazing .. the people were helpful and kind .. it was just a perfect and wonderful place. The entire evening was perfect and wonderful!!
Now how do you wrap up such a busy week? By getting spa treatments of course. So .. on Friday we decided to get something that we have never gotten and that is full service treatments - couples massages, facials and pedicures. There is a small tucked away resort that we have been meaning to visit and never took the time to call. All I can say is .. ahhhhhhhh. The services were really great and the attendants were so engaging. I did feel bad for my massage therapist .. especially after she asked if I move bricks. Her hand must have been sore after working on my back. LOL. And my poor pedicurist .. since I am constantly without shoes my feet are so rough. She used this heel glaze that I was able to purchase and man it is a game changer. I am forever putting lotions and oils and nothing ever works, however, this stuff leaves my feet so soft that I can not stop touching. I also got the small travel size of their Sweet Cream lotion .. which smells like a spicy vanilla cupcake .. Mr. can not stop commenting how much he loves the scent. I guess that means I have to start buying this stuff by the gallons *wink*
Saturday was errands day since I wanted to make sure we were set for work. So laundry was done, groceries were bought, dry cleaning picked up and all the little fun house tiding activities we all have. And on Sunday we took the day of rest to heart and simply relaxed .. just like on Wednesday .. we did not do much of anything.
And that concludes the best birthday week .. so far. There is always next year when I turn .. nope I still can not say those words out loud.
