The Vacation.....across town.

At the last minute me and the hubsters decided we NEEDED to get out of this house. These four walls were slowly shrinking in on us. So we got a hotel room downtown. It was pretty darn expensive but it was worth it to just get out and away. So the first night we got there, checked in and left to go get something to eat. We went to a place where we have eaten before and love the food there, but this night, of course, was different. The food was cold and I was afraid I would catch some weird disease by eating cold seafood, so I didn't eat much. We left and ran around a bit and got back to the hotel and slept. But here is where it sucked. I still heard airplanes. OMGOSH!! Yes that was our reasoning for leaving these 4 walls of suddenly small comfort and get away from base with huge c-17s flying overhead damn near every morning. I traded in c117s for prop planes. I wanted to pull my hair out. Luckily I am sort of used to the airplane sound by now that I slept through most of them.
The 2nd day we went and watched a movie, "Don't Mess with the Zohan", It was stupid yet funny. Just what I am accustomed to from watching Adam Sandler films. It has been.....I don't know maybe 3 years since Ive gone to a theater to watch a movie.
We went to eat at Benihanas. THAT was neat as heck. Our chef was a hoot, and I am so envious of their sharp knives. The food was amazing as well. We will definitely go back!
So back at the hotel I enjoyed our in room jacuzzi tub. Watched movies on the laptop, and just relaxed. Our jacuzzi tub was in the room, you could lay in there and watch TV until you shrivel up like a little prune. Although I did do that, my reasoning was cause it felt good on my back.

We shall do this again one day, before the kids come home. Maybe get OUT of town this time. Sad thing about living in Anchorage tho is that every interesting place is really far from home. And staying in town we were still able to come home and feed the dog LOL. Yes this is my life. Go on vacation, come home to feed the dog, then go back to the hotel.

That wasn't the most exciting part about the weekend. Well, if you could call it that. After we left Ihop one morning we heard a *thump thump thump thump* from one of the tires on the truck. Hubby said it sounded like a CV joint going bad. Well upon arriving home (to feed the dog and let her potty) we discovered that one of our lug nut studs was MISSING! and that the remaining 4 lug nuts were REALLY lose. It wasn't our CV joint, our tire was wobbling! So the hubby fixed us all up, tightened the nuts real good and checked the other 3 tires. All was fine. It seems that when hubby replaced the brakes/rotors on the truck he used a limiter on the impact. WOOPS! Bet he wont make that mistake again.
