The Birthday the Bug Almost Squashed

Behind on my posts, but Fred planned such a fun birthday for me that it should be documented. For my 35th birthday Fred planned a day and night away in downtown Minneapolis. I accidentally ran into the info in the back of his shirt drawer, but didn't tell him until I had to. And I had to once I got the stomach bug the night before my birthday. I knew my parents were coming to watch the kids and I didn't want my dad to catch what we had, both Jacob and I got the "bug". I felt well enough to sit up by the time mom got here, so we headed out on our adventures.

Fred had a room for us at a hotel downtown. We grabbed some lunch and went to the room to rest, Fred had been up all night with Jacob and I with the toilet. After our rest, I was feeling better and we headed off to Bar La Grassa - a great Italian restaurant I had heard friends rave about. We ordered a few items to share and enjoyed some wine. Then we were off to the Guthrie to see "Charlie's Aunt". Fun show, just a little long. By the time we got back to the hotel, Fred's bug was kicking in. And so Fred spent the night in and out of the king bed.

We returned home in the morning, so Fred could recover in the comfort of our own home. I let him rest up during the day, so we could head out that evening to check out a friend's band at the Golden Valley VFW. The Nordeast bands' public debut was fund to attend, even if Fred didn't have the energy to shake it on the dance floor.
