It was a grand day out, not as in Wallace & Gromit’s trip to the moon, but as in Chris and Jerri’s Valentine’s Day extravaganza. It being the weekend, we decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day by a trip out today. We ventured west to Lexington, KY.
The first spectacle on the mini getaway was in discovering a new restaurant, Asian Wind. We wanted to try something different. It was Chinese with a wide selection of vegan. I had the Orange Kwachic and my husband the Sesame Kwachic. Kwachic is a meatless chicken. We also had veggie pot stickers. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.
The next stop was the Apple Store. My husband is in seventh heaven, waiting for the arrival of his new Mac book pro. It was the least I could do. I didn’t get him a card. Basically, I just gave him permission to spend his own money on the computer he’s been salivating over for some time now.
From there it was a mini massage for me – one of those acupressure places in the mall aisle. Next was a free facial by the Origins lady.
No out of town trip is complete without a trip to Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. It was only Whole Foods since there is no Trader Joe’s in Lexington, although there have been rumors of one coming soon. The last stop was Starbucks, then home.
I’m thankful for a very nice Valentine’s Day treat and fantastic weather.
