Kenny and I celebrated our SIX YEAR ANNIVERSARY this last weekend! Saturday afternoon we dropped Peyton off with my parents after her swim lessons and then headed to Talking Stick Resort! We have a family friend who works there for special events and was able to get us a room, even though when we looked online to book something last week there was nothing available. He definitely hooked us up! We had a PHENOMENAL room! The view was outstanding, and it was so clean that I actually walked around barefoot! For those of you who do not know...I am a little germaphobic when it comes to hotels. Like I bring my own blankets, wear flip flops in the shower and never let my feet touch the carpet! OCD? Maybe a little :) Anyway, so we got there, checked in and headed to our room. Our card said Room #3341 and how the lady wrote it, made us assume 3rd floor room 341. We get to room #341 and our key card didn't work. We found a lady and she said, "Oh no, you are on the Club Level room #3341." Apparently club level is a different way of saying 13th floor. So we walk into our room and it's gorgeous! The window shutters were from floor to ceiling and opened up to a gorgeous view of the valley and the pool below.
We had reservations at Orange Sky at 6:30 so we started getting ready for that. Our friend was also able to get us a private booth in the restaurant with another amazing view of the sunset!It was really fun to get dressed up and have a romantic evening with each other. We missed Peyton, but it was nice to have "our time" too. Here we were before dinner all dolled up! He's so handsome in a tie, don't ya think? ;)
When we got to the restaurant the hostess and our waiter knew it was our anniversary so at the end of our meal they brought this goat cheese cheesecake out to us. And they even gave us a free side of the potatoes au gratin with our dinner that were delish! After dinner, we went back to the hotel to change and then headed to a piano bar where they had a show called Dueling Pianos.
We also went into the casino a couple times and I lost almost $60 on penny and nickel machines!! I would have been so much more upset, but we hardly spent any money because my parents ended up paying for our room, which we didn't realize until we went to check out the next morning! Plus Kel and Thomas gave us a $40 gift card that we used towards dinner and Kenny didn't pay for a single drink that night. We had free drink vouchers for up to a $35 drink! The next morning was an amazing brunch! I stuffed myself silly with shrimp and crab legs! I know not a very great choice for breakfast, but I can never pass up on any type of seafood! Kenny liked the strawberry angel food cake waffles! I HIGHLY recommend going to their brunch! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G is all I have to say! And luckily we had two $12 vouchers that we used for brunch because it was still $35 for breakfast after we used them! But I think it's totally worth the $28 regular price anyway! It has EVERYTHING!
Everything was perfect and we had such a great time! I am such a lucky girl to have such a wonderful husband. Even though we may argue about stupid things from time to time, we know we have a great marriage and wouldn't trade it for anything! I love him so much!
