Romantic getaway

How do you show your little senorita that you love her? Take her for an overnight trip to the Roseville Galleria! Completely on his own, the Canadian dreamed up a romantic getaway for the two of us whereby he whisked me off to the Galleria Friday, after work, for an all evening shopping extravaganza complete with dinner at our favorite Galleria eatery, the Yard House (actually in The Fountains across the street).

A Belgium beer sampler for the boy and a Malibu and pineapple juice for me.

Instead of full entrees we shared a couple of appetizers. We got chicken nachos, kung pao calamari, and two street tacos for the boy (pork and swordfish). Mmmm...naaaaachos.

Oh, and don't forget dessert - a macadamia nut cheesecake and salted caramel butterscotch pudding. Seriously, we should have brought our stretchy pants.

After hours of shopping we drove down the street to a Best Western where we could rest up for more shopping adventures in the morning.

Two Queen beds? Of course! This is supposed to be a relaxing getaway, is it not?

I did pretty good, scored some dresses, skirts, shirts, and makeup.

And somehow managed to pass up this gem;

What better way to spend a triple-digit weekend than in a nice, cool, air conditioned super mall?
