Jeff's R and R Vacation

Last week was Jeff's vacation, he has been in need of some serious rest and relaxation.  It was so great to have him home all week.  A few highlights of the week...........

The three amigos from Columbia stopped by for a couple of days.  (Mom, Dad, and Jill - who was on vacation as well).  We checked out the Sea Life Aquarium. I thought this was a very nice little aquarium, I could just sit and watch those aquariums for hours.  Loved the Stingrays, so amazing.

We ate a hardy lunch at the award wining - Oklahoma Joe's BBQ.  The food was delicious.  We tried one of their original BBQ sauces -  Night of the Living Bar-B-Q Sauce - Smoky chipolte peppers give this sauce a unique "Sweet/Hot" taste sensation.......yummy!

Jeff and I spent one night at the Drive-In, we had a great cool evening for it. We saw The Campaign and The Watch, both fun flicks!

Friday evening we checked into the Westin at Crown Center.  We explored all three levels of Crown Center and had yummy Cheeseburgers for dinner.  The Westin is such a lovely hotel, with such great views.  I have always loved the five-story waterfall in the lobby. Later that night we snuggled up in the king size world-renowned Westin Heavenly Bed®  to watch The Hunger Games.  Great movie and super comfortable bed. 
 

For Breakfast we ate at this fabulous little restaurant called, Magnolia's - cuisine of the American South. 
I had  -
Red Velvet Waffle Evangeline - Red velvet waffles with fresh berries, served with smoked bacon, sweet potato hash and eggs.  The sweet potato hash was amazing, I have to try to make it. 

Overall vacation was great.  It started out and ended not so great, but we made the best of it, I threw my back out and ended up in the ER Monday night,  Saturday morning Jeff and I woke up with awful colds. I still can't shake this nasty cold & cough - Yuck!
