Sun 12 Jan

Had a nice little trip to Green Bay/De Pere Friday night through Sat afternoon. The wine tasting really hit hard though, and I'm not sure why. It came with a glass and I chose the port which came in a much larger pour than would be usual with port, but still I was just a little giggly when we left the winery. We arrived just in time for our dinner reservations and really enjoyed a cup of awesome butternut squash soup with excellent spices and a touch of cream. I wasn't able to eat a large portion of my awesome duck a la cerise, but that was likely more due to being full from the soup. I have some great leftovers to look forward to. We did not have any more alcohol with the meal, and you would expect time and the food in our bellies to reduce the impact of the alcohol from the wine tasting, but instead it became cumulatively worse so that I had to concentrate to walk from the restaurant through the hotel to the room. I had to lay down on the bed and lay perfectly still or I felt awful. I basically slept from the time I returned to the room until morning. I felt fine in the morning, but it was a weird, unexpected experience. At least it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the excellent dinner. Breakfast was also awesome. We were treated to a sit-down breakfast in the restaurant as part of the $79 package. We each had a half Croque Madame with a small bowl of fresh-cut fruit. Magnifique! After we checked out, we headed to the nearby Costco. Availed myself of too many Saturday prime time samples, but we didn't need lunch. We stopped in mid-afternoon around 3 pm at the Wheel House in Waupaca and had pizza as our final meal for the day. Sunday afternoon with no Packers. Sigh. But choir starts at 3:30.
