Easter visits
2 Apr 2012 08:08 pmBen's parents are coming here Friday morning and leaving Sunday afternoon. They want to take us out somewhere nice for dinner one night in honor of my birthday, so we're going to Panciuto Friday night. I love it, but we never go there, because it's SO EXPENSIVE. Totally worth it, but you won't get out for less than $50/person. Ish. Saturday night we're going to Guglhupf for dinner, because I like it, and we've never actually gone for dinner. (Sadly, the bakery is closed by then, so we can't pick up delicious German baked goods.) Sunday we're trying the brunch at the new Italian place in town.
Which leaves two lunches and a breakfast. We're going to Duke Gardens one day (probably Saturday) and ?? the other day (if it's raining, something inside, I guess.) We'd like to try Bull City Burgers & Brew, which isn't very far from Duke Gardens. Ben's mom suggested Med Deli for lunch one day, and wandering around downtown CH I guess? Though that could suck in the rain. (The forecast is 60 and scattered rain showers on Friday, sunny and 70 on Saturday. That may change.) We'll see, I guess.
Saturday morning is when we usually do our grocery shopping, and we go to the coffee shop, farmers market, and store, then home. I have no idea if his parents will want to tag along for that process; I can see them joining us for pastries and decaffeinated beverages and maybe the farmers market, but grocery shopping isn't very interesting. The store will probably be closed on Sunday, since it's Easter. I don't know. We'll see. We could go Friday morning before they get here, since Ben's probably not going to work. No idea.
His mom will want to go directly to the airport after brunch (we have a reservation for 11, and their flight is at 3:50 pm). She'll hear no talk about RDU being small and rarely crowded; apparently she always gets to airport 2+ hours in advance. I would get so bored and also irritated at having to cut my vacation short or get up stupidly early or whatever. Now, sometimes you have to, like Las Vegas, but not all the time. It's not like it's affecting me on this trip anyway, so whatever.
(Also, I'll be obsessively checking my phone for score updates Saturday morning, because my fucking team's in 17th place out of 18, and in danger of relegation again, and goddammit we need to bloody WIN. And it's an English week, so there's another match on Tuesday, which we also need to WIN. GAH. I hate football. Being a sports fan sucks.)
