A Date in the Sky
On Wednesday, Patrick picked me up from work and decided a date night was needed.
We went to the Coach Insignia at the top of the Renaissance Center in Detroit. This is the second highest restaurant in the United States’!
Views of the Detroit River and Belle Isle:
As well as Canada:
While taking in the views I sipped on a glass of Perrier Jouet champagne.
Shared 3 gnocchi with Patrick:
Waffle fries with ketchup:
My second drink was a Lemon martini that was supposed to be rimmed with sugar. Boy was I surprised when I took my first sip…seems the bartender confused the salt and sugar. Needless to say it was not the greatest drink I’ve ever had.
Drinks were consumed, food was eaten and big chairs were sat in:
Dinner
I wrote a little about Patrick’s memories with Peking Villa. Well, another one of his memories is of a place called Mr. C’s. Mr. C’s is basically a convenience store that sells pizza and subs along with all your traditional convenience store items. Patrick used to go and pick up day old subs for $1.00. So, after our date we headed to Mr. C’s to pick up some Italian Sub sandwiches.
My sub was washed down with a bottle of Sioux City Root Beer made with cane sugar. Very tasty!
My $1 sub with a side of McClure’s pickles:
The sub’s were good and well worth a buck.
I would like to share the below picture for those of you who have never had the pleasure of dining with a dog. No matter what is being consumed Solera will sit at your feet and wait oh so patiently for something to drop in his reach.
A Dog’s Life
Patrick is not the only one taking advantage of being on vacation. Cappy is totally making the most out of it. Here’s what a basic “Cappy” day looks like…
Have a human lift him into a chair where he walks in circles, lays down and falls asleep:
After sleeping for hours, he stands up in the chair to see what everyone is doing:
Decides the humans are doing nothing interesting, does a big yawn:
and the process is repeated:
It is obvious my dogs live a very hard life:)
Question:
Are you more of a go-getter or a relaxer on vacation?
I’m usually more of a go-getter. I like to get out and explore my surroundings when visiting new places.

Hmmmm….depends on where I vacation. In Hawaii I love to relax. If we head elsewhere I am a shopper and a sight seer!
Love Vacay’s!

Yeah, when I went to St. Maarten I spent a couple days exploring but I really did enjoy sitting on the beach and just relaxing.

The gnocchi was really good. It was seasoned perfectly and had a bit of a crispy outside. Yum!

What a cool restaurant! Those waffle fries look more than tasty (I am a huge waffle fry fan). And $1 subs? That is awesome. That picture of Cappy laying in the chair made me laugh out loud. Dogs are the best 🙂 I’d like to say I’m half go getter/half relaxer on vaca. I still fit my workouts in, but I like lots of pool or tv time

Cappy and Solera are both little clowns. They are always making us laugh!

Great new blog!!! I love the new template and the header picture, it looks great.
Sounds like you are having a nice time on vacation. I am definitely a go-getter on vacation, like you. I can relax any time, so why not take advantage of seeing new things while away form home?! That doesn’t mean I don’t relax plenty on vacation, but I surely don’t sleep in until noon and stay inside all day!
