Beds, Rest, and Ports

We had a fantastic weekend!

First, I have a confession to make, Mike and I have been married for 16 years and have never bought a mattress.

So, after sleeping on a very lumpy and uncomfortable mattress for quite a few years, we decided our anniversary gift would be a new mattress.

This was a big decision for us, and it took us several weeks, but finally we made the purchase last week.

We decided to buy from Costco, because of their return policy.

And, because of their return policy, we went with a memory foam mattress instead of a traditional mattress.

We ordered it on Tuesday and got it two days later! Crazy fast!

Since it is memory foam it had to expand for two days, but we got to sleep on it for the first time on Saturday night.

I LOVE IT!! It is super firm, and I am waking up with no back pain! Mike isn't having the same great experience so far, but our last bed was squishy, and he woke up with back pain as well, so may just be him :)

Besides getting our new mattress, the other exciting thing that happened this weekend was- Mike took the weekend off.

Just took it off, for no reason, except that it was time to take a weekend off!

If you know Mike this is HUGE! He doesn't take times of rest well, and is something that he is working on. Thankfully, his boss said it was time for a break, and Mike listened!

We had a real weekend, and even spent Sunday at Disney.

Disney is always fun, we never buy food there, too expensive, and so by the end of the day our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches had worn thin. We remembered there was a Portillos in the neighborhood and found it!

It was soooo delicious! Italian Beef dipped, with sweet peppers and cheese fries. Not health food, but oh, so good!

We miss Chicago, not the weather, but the people. It's funny how food can make you feel close to something you love. We all left feeling warm and comforted.

And, as a bonus, there is a thrifty ice cream right across the street from Ports!

Yes, we indulged. Then back home again to my fabulous bed.
