Weekend Surprise~~~

I am getting ready for the beach this past Saturday super pumped up and ready to pack all the while Travis seems to be stalling. grr... "pleeeease get UP lets go! Lets pack!" He hops in the shower and then I take my turn after him- when I get out there is a note- "On a secret mission- be back soon"....I thought Yussss! Breakfast! He gets back and makes me hide in the bathroom so that I can't peak...??? hmm... so I immediately knew something was up... I asked him are we going to the beach?? - "nope"

Well... a few months ago we talked about doing an early or late anniversary bcuz we would be in Dubai on our actuall anniv. and we will be doing fun things with family- so I knew that this MUST be that weekend- and he said it was :)

He proceeds to show me a little slide show he put together... first it says How about a picnic in the park? Then a massage? Then a little dinner and dancing? Wine? Then a rebus with a picture of an eye and my stepdad's face (Khan) the next slide was Hotel Icon! (eye+khan)...haha...awesome... so needless to say I was pumped up!

We had Prosciutto, Boursin, crackers, and wine in the park then I was dropped off at Etheria Spa- loved my sweedish massage~ then I was picked up and brought to the hotel icon. We walked in an were handed our keys... in the elevator the attendant said we needed to put our keys in to reach the level of our destination...woah....penthouse level...(extremely giiiiddy!)... we enter our Oriental Suite.... big upgrade....king bed, clawfoot tub, 2 baths, living room, bar and amazing view of Houston. Travis had Vueve clicquot on ice and brought our champagne flutes that my parents gave to us as a wedding gift- he also had red roses on the bed. What an amazing husband- I definitely appreciate all of it! LOVED it all!

We relaxed- talked- just soaked it all in... Saturday evening we went to Sambuca for an amazing dinner (steak, lobster, sea bass, proscuitto mac and cheese- how can you resist?!) Great music- classic rock- Doobie Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel....just awesome...

Sunday brunch was at Mia Bella-now my absolute favorite brunch location....I had poached eggs on top of jumbo lump crab meat on creamy pollenta with a hollandaise sauce... perfection. Bottomless bloody marys, bellinis and mimosas for $8.95...great deal!

Loved the entire weekend- after our brunch we went home to see the pups and enjoyed watching the Cowboys beat the Eagles- :) Pics to come------
