My fiancé came to visit this weekend, and we had an amazing time! The logistics were hairy because I was at sea, but luckily a friend of mine picked up Mike at the airport while we were entering port. He then brought Mike to the ship, and we all took off to
Seven Bridges Brewery. I love their food and beer..especially any kind of mac and cheese they make. Yumm.
The next morning, I took my guy to
Mimi's Café for breakfast. I love their muffins and mimosas. I mean, who doesn't? Then I dropped him off at the apartment so I could get a manicure and groceries. I figured he wouldn't want to endure the "girly" part of the day, so he relaxed at home with Bella. I may or may not be addicted to gel/no-chip manicures, since my job is a bit unforgiving on the hands. The nails were almost out of standards with the Navy, so I had to get them trimmed down. I then made him
this for lunch, and we relaxed at home doing some much needed wedding planning. After the relaxing afternoon planning fest, we went and got dolled up for date night. I took him to
Matthew's, and it was everything I expected and more! We ordered foie gras, escargot, for appetizers, and I ordered gnocchi for my entrée, he ordered the grouper. We shared a Mexican chocolate souffle. I was so impressed by the ambiance, the service, and above all, the food.
Sunday, we woke up late, and I made this. I love
this recipe, turns out he doesn't like baked oatmeal. Lesson learned. I will continue to make it for me, and make an alternative for him. We then went to lunch at the
North Beach Fish Camp. I had some amazing Fish Tacos. I can't wait to go back. The location was great, and the food was even better. We killed some time walking around, and then hit up the jetty's where we took Engagement photos. I can't wait to see how they turned out! We went home, and I make him his favorite dinner. I made him meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and steamed green beans. I will post the meatloaf recipe soon! We relaxed, and watched We're the Millers. Hilarious.
Monday, I had to work in the am:( Luckily it was a quick pop in, and left to take him to sushi at
Bento, and then to the airport.
I am so happy we had a bit of a staycation this weekend. We were able to enjoy time together, eat great food, and just have fun!
