out and about.

Hope you all enjoyed the long holiday weekend...unfortunately some of us had to work, but hopefully it was still overall a relaxing weekend and a great end to your summer [hopefully you all wore your white pants/dresses/shorts of choice for the last time until memorial day 2011]. Anyone have any fun labor day traditions you would like to share with us all?
Jessica and I spent our weekend here in the Minne, and were finally able to check out the uptown cafeteria and support group. Our advice to anyone who has wanted to check it out:
* make sure you're hungry. The portions are generous, and quite rich (I got the tomato/bacon mac & cheese, and Jess got the pad thai)
* Have someone along with you that is good at making decisions (or who is willing to share). For indecisive people like myself, their menu makes it hard to pick just one entree to get... it ALL looked/tasted fantastic. Our next time back will be for brunch. All you can eat cereal, loaf of homemade banana bread, sausage pancake corndogs... need we say more?
* Make sure you're hungry, but bring your own water bottle or beverage of choice. The wait staff here is fairly new, and at times we questioned whether or not they knew they were in the restaurant/customer service business... so, be ready to hunt them down when you want a re-fill on your water or are ready to order or get your bill. The service here was less than impressive. Definitely don't come here if you want to grab a quick bite to eat... you may have to allow some extra time to do the servers job for them.
* Check out their happy hour specials (it's all day on Sunday!) and be sure to grab a drink on the rooftop "Sky bar." The view of the city is the best there is. Hands downs.

Jess' cousin Kendra and her friend from ISU were in town for the weekend!

Definitely comfort food
