Fri 26 Dec

Nice to not have to return to the office til Monday. We decided that since I have to be on the pager over New Year's and we can't do the NYE special at Chateau De Pere, we will go tonight for their Home for the Holidays special, $79 for a room with breakfast, and have a nice dinner there tonight. Learned that my favorite chef, Sebastien, is not with them any more. He is staying home with his new daughter and doing catering. The chefs in the restaurant were trained by him, though, and still serve his menu. I suspect he was already gone the last time we were there as I saw no sign of him on a Friday night. Looking forward to their beautiful room, nice breakfast, and just a nice overnight getaway. Comfortably settled into our room with about an hour to spare before our dinner reservations. We shopped at Woodman's in Appleton and stocked up on Naughty Girl on sale, hit the Green Bay Costco and Target. Now we are ready to just chill. I want one of the bartender's excellent cocktails so we didn't bring any of the wine up to the room.
