Melissa is a HUGE Sex and the City fan, so since she found out that there was going to be a movie she was very excited. I decided to make it a special night for her and for us to have some girl time. We decided to go to the Ritz-Carlton in the
Biltmore area of Phoenix for the evening. We loved the movie, it was very funny. After the film we went to a restaurant that Todd and I love called The Capital Grill. I called the waiter we always request and told him I would be there with Melissa following the film, so he made it a special experience for her.
Melissa had never stayed at the Ritz, so after we checked in we got some Champagne brought up and had a quick toast to our special evening. She was loving it and looked very stylish in her new outfit.
This was another shot from the room prior to the movie. She was so excited to see it and we weren't disappointed.
This was in the hallway of the hotel shortly after our arrival.
This is a really bad photo, but I left the camera in the room and took it with my phone, so it's pretty blurry. It was in the theatre following the film.
This morning we were both so rested and relaxed, we decided that it would be nice to do this together more often. Melissa went to get coffee in the lounge for us this morning.
When we were getting our champagne, Melissa really wanted to order some chocolate covered strawberry's. It was going to take longer than we could wait before the movie, so we decided to order them after dinner instead. As you can see she was having a great time. She put her Ritz bathrobe on and got tucked into bed and had 2 delicious strawberry's before going to sleep.
Another shot of her with her strawberry's.
This was in the restaurant. She had to have the signature Cosmopolitan in honor of the movie, although she wasn't to impressed with it, at least I got a photo of her with it. She loved her dinner and next time you go to The Capital Grill try the Filet Oscar, it's to die for!
After dinner, at around 9:30, Melissa was soooo tired. I couldn't believe that she was ready to go to bed, but when you have a baby and don't get a chance to relax very much I guess it's understandable. We had an awesome time and can't wait to do it again. Now it's time to prepare for our big trip to Maui. Everyone is so excited to go on a vacation together and to such a beautiful place. Only 3 more days until Chris, Julie and Maximus arrive and 4 days until our departure, we'll keep you posted! We had a great time on our night out and I think we've all decided that you can't beat living in the city!!!
