We had our first weekend in Charlotte last weekend and it was very nice. Saturday we ran a lot of errands including car maintenance and some shopping. Whilst waiting we found a small but neat European bodega. We also went to the local library which is very nice. We put some books on hold and then went home. For date night we ate a very nice meal in, and Julia cooked some Salmon which I argue was as good as any restaurant we have ever eaten at. Sunday we stayed in and it was very very nice. We watched Dr. Who and the first five minutes of Southland Tales...and decided not to watch Southland Tales.
We also got hit by the Ragnarok snowstorm and I worked from home Wed, Thur and Friday. I was going to work from Star Bucks Wed, but finally figured out how to get my work computer to work on our internet at home. It was awesome. We were quite comfortable and ate well and enjoyed each others company. No mail. No stores. We were a lot luckier than some though, since we had power, heat and water the entire time.
Friday we went to Atlanta and went to Wayne and Helen's wedding reception. It was full of lanterns, sparklers and glow sticks with some fantastic Gelato and other deserts. Saturday we had our valentine's day dinner at Leon's and celebrated Skip's birthday with Carrot Cake. Sunday we had a fantastic egg and hashbrown breakfast and then came home.
