Kate and I got back from our anniversary trip yesterday afternoon. It was great to have an extented period of time to ourselves, but it’s also good to be back with the kids.
We only went as far as Reston. We stayed at the Hyatt in Reston Town Center. The hotel was only okay. Certainly not what I expected for what it cost, but what we wanted most from it was being walking distance from all the stuff in Reston Town Center, and it did that part well.
We ate at some great places:
- The Melting Pot
- The American Taproom (which was good food, but bad service)
- Obi Sushi
- McCormick and Schmicks
- Panera
- Logan’s Roadhouse
We also had a great time just not having a schedule. Being us, we spent some amount of time in the room just being together and reading, which is something we don’t get to do very often with the kids around. We had a lot of fun walking around Reston Town Center and looking in all the shops we haven’t been to in a long time. It was just wondeful to be able to spend some time together and not have to worry about anything else for a couple of days.
By all accounts the children did very well while we were away. Xander, of course did fine, he’s spent time without us before, but this was really the first time Mira has had to deal with it. She seems to have done fine with and and we’re very proud of both of them.
