Earlier this week, Ben and I decided that we needed to get a night away. Ben's parents were kind enough to watch Jack for the night so we could get out. Ben decided to go on priceline.com to find an inexpensive hotel on the internet as we didn't want to spend too much. The funny thing was he entered the metro area hoping to get something near prior lake or somewhere where we don't always go. But instead, the hotel came up in Bloomington! Sheraton Bloomington (its right across from my work!) Anyway, there are a couple good things about Priceline and some bad things. The couple good things were we got to choose what star rating we wanted for the hotel and we got the price we wanted to spend. The bad things were, they charge your credit card without seeing the hotel and the charge is non-refundable, you dont get to change the hotel. All in all it turned out to be a nice get-a-way with no kids or interruptions. We went out to dinner at PF Changs, saw a movie, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (chick-flick) and then went back to the hotel and enjoyed the awesome jacuzzi and pool. Then we woke up and went to my fav breakfast place, Original Pancake House, a.k.a OPH. It was a nice get-a-way, even if it was in Bloomington!
