My birthday was July 30th, and since I figured I probably wouldn’t be up for a party, I asked Jer if we could have a mini getaway the next weekend instead. We booked a nice (nicer than what we usually get anyway. Remember, we met at a Knight’s Inn) hotel in Pasadena for a Saturday night. I deemed the entire weekend a Staycation, though.<\/p>\n

Friday night at home we watched This is The End, which I thought was hilarious. I always like that group of people’s movies though.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning, I made us delicious blueberry pancakes.<\/p>\n

\"pancakes\"<\/a>Pancakes are a pretty regular weekend thing in our house but the blueberries made them extra staycation-y.
\nWe finished packing and drove out to Pasadena. Our first stop was Real Food Daily, a vegan place we’ve been meaning to check out. I had a burrito and Jer had a reuben. Classsssic Jer. He loves his reubens. The food was really good, but pretty expensive. But hey! Staycation!<\/p>\n

For dessert we went to KindKreme, a vegan ice cream place that was awesome!! I got a maple tamarind shake. Yummm. Jer got butter…something. Not butterscotch. His was great too. They make all the ice cream there, and it is awesome.<\/p>\n

\"So<\/a>

So many flavors! I wanted one of each!<\/p><\/div>\n

We checked into our hotel and took a nap in the big fluffy bed.<\/p>\n

\"hotel<\/a>

The red pillow was perfect for keeping between my knees.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0We walked around downtown for a couple hours, checked our a couple stores (including the Container Store, which made me want to organize EVERYTHING) and then had a late dinner at All India Cafe. This place was AWESOME! We got a vegetarian combo meal for two. For $35 we got samosas, three entrees, a side, rice, bread, and dessert. And it was all delicious. We were a little overwhelmed when they brought out all the food.<\/p>\n

\"indianfood1\"<\/a>But then we ate ALL of it.<\/p>\n

\"indianfood2\"<\/a>We went back to the hotel, watched some TV, and went to sleep. On Sunday, we checked out the little farmer’s market down the street and got some delicious almond-based hummus– habanero, jalapeno cilantro, and chipotle flavored, to bring home.<\/p>\n

I was a little stressed out before we went, thinking we needed to make it SO SPECIAL since it is likely our last trip together before the baby gets here, but when I told Jer this he told me not to stress– that it’s just a little birthday getaway. Since I was trying not to put so much pressure on it, and because it was so laid back, it was a really nice, relaxing time! And of course, it was mostly food and sleeping. Perfect for a pregnant woman. And in general, we are both fans of both of those things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
