Going Against the Easy!

I know you have lots of Old Stories to Tell

Here's one of mine from way back in in 1994

Plan B worked out better ....

IT was our 25th anniversary in March and we had for a few years previous planned to go the mountains a few hours drive from where we lived at the time for a nice winter weekend. 

Well my health wasn't good and we had some other things going on so we didn't go away but we did do something different.

We decided to pretend we were in a different city and go out to eat all our meals from Friday night to Sunday morning like we would be if we were away.  So, we had to find different restaurants that we had never been to before.

We became Tourists where we live!

Well, that was harder than we thought and by the time when Sunday noon came along and we were treating ourselves to one of those expensive Brunch buffets, we were so full.

The idea was great for when you have to stay at home and still want it to feel special.  It would have been really easy to just make something at home or go to our regular places,  but this made us go against the easy and get out of the house and be tourists where we lived. 

New ideas help us get out of the old patterns and habits we get into and this became a story that we still remember and talk about.  Sometimes we don't want to go somewhere new for fear of it not being good or a number of other excuses, but WHAT IF it is better and you go back again!

Worth It!!!!!!

We found a new place in China town with the best Won Ton soup, a  pizza place that used a wood burning oven. We went to one of the downtown hotels and had a really fancy meal that introduced us to Tokyo turnips, found a bakery that made bread you bought by the weight, and yes the Brunch was fantastic.

Just think  - we could have stayed home!
