Jessie and mom's trip to Embassy Suites

Keeping with the annual tradition of spending a fun weekend with each child separately, it was finally Jessie's turn for some one-on-one time with mom.  She decided we should stay local (we had enough points to stay at the Embassy Suites in Loveland for free!) and have some "girlie" fun.

First on Jessie's list was a stop at Diva Nails, where we both enjoyed a pedicure.  Jessie was probably their smallest client ever, and had a hard time getting her feet to reach the warm and bubbly water! She was a LITTLE too comfortable being pampered.



After being pampered we had worked up quite an appetite, so Jessie decided we should have lunch at Whole Foods.

Next on Jessie's agenda- shopping.  We went to Charming Charlie's, Claire's, the toy store, the book store, and of course, Macy's.  Then I had to tell Jessie I was too tired to shop anymore and we checked into our hotel to rest!

We got settled in our room, Jessie took some pictures on my camera, we played restaurant using the hotel phone and notepad/pen, and then headed to a nice dinner at P.F. Changs- where Jessie ate an entire order of pork dumplings and spinach stir fried with garlic!  Then we relaxed in the hotel hot tub before reading books in our "big bed". 
The next morning we ate a nice cooked to order breakfast at the hotel, threw several pennies into the wishing well, and headed home.  It was so much fun to focus on having fun and giggling together, just the two of us!
