A wonderful evening with my husband

Saturday night my mother graciously agreed to take care of both boys all night, thus allowing Wolf and I to go out for a fantastic night on the town....alone.

We left just before Mason went to sleep and headed down to Borders, to kill some time, get some caffeine (we were going to need it) and just hang out. From there we headed to Bodhi's wine bar, Bacchus, on Hyde St., where we shared an absolutely superb bottle of Riesling (thanks Bodhi) and ate a bit of sushi. Then it was off to the hotel to check in and get changed. By the time we got out to Market to catch a cab it was about 10:30 but we didn't get to the Hookahdome party site until 11:20. Who knew it would be so DAMN hard to get a cab in the city!

Okay, brief insight as to what this whole night is about. Wolf has been to Burning Man once, in 2004, when I was pregnant with Morgan, and has been itching to go back. Soooo, he has convinced me that he and I will have a grand ol' time going together, just the two of us, next September. So this party (fundraiser) we are enroute to is being thrown by a group called The Hookahdome that attends Burning Man every year.

Back to the party....we stood outside for probably another half an hour waiting for everyone to get checked in and finally, around midnight, we were welcomed into the bossom of The Cellspace. From that point on, Wolf and I proceeded to have a fun, energetic, sexy, wonderful, thrilling and much needed evening that brought us closer together and gave us a chance to reconnect again. We met some beautiful people, some of whom I hope we get to see again.

This must be done as often as possible, I think. Maybe not that intense or that long of a night, but the need to reconnect with my husband, get away from the stress of everyday life, and just be Amy and Wolf is something that should happen every couple of months. I highly recommend it. It's as important as getting time away for yourself, which should be done just as frequently.

For us, we have December 30th to look forward to, a night of Cirque du Soleil, good food, a hotel room, some close friends and a good night sleep. Yippee, here's to the new year!
