YAY! I love visitors, especially this one! Mike came up on Monday evening and stayed until Sunday!!! Unfortunately, I had to work all week, but I could get used to coming home and having a freshly prepared lunch ready and waiting!
I realized how much of a creature of habit I am, especially when I’m in the groove of the work week. Oh well. Saturday went out to the Yooper Tourist Trap (picture) and then ate lunch at the Jasper Ridge Brewery, both which I had yet to explore. The Tourist Trap was HILARIOUS! So many little trinkets and things “yooperish”…it was splendid! Then across the street to lunch at Jasper Ridge where we got the beer sample (4oz of the beers they brew on site). Within the first 30 seconds of the waitress setting down the sampler I managed to spill 2 of them directly onto my lap. She was nice, brought me a ton of napkins and refill the beers. They were all pretty tasty. The food was good: I got a hamburger and Mike got the Man Burger (burger with mashed potatoes and gravy). Yes, it does sound a bit unappetizing, but it was actually good!
For dinner on Saturday night Amy joined us at the Up Front (where we got a big booth!) and then Colby and Mariah joined for a beverage. After dinner Mike and I went to the top of the Landmark Inn, a location I have been told by many I had to go with Mike, and had a cocktail. It is on the 6th floor, overlooking the harbor and had it not been snowing, we would have been able to see further. But, the view was wonderful, even with the big snowflakes falling. A romantic location if I do say so myself.
He left late Sunday morning to head back downstate. It was wonderful being able to spend the entire week with him!!!
