Weekend Getaway

So last weekend, Jesse and I decided to take a little trip down to Louisville.  We stayed at The Brown Hotel, and went to 4th Street live in the evening.  If you've never been to 4th Street Live, I would highly recommend it.

Anyway, we first went to The Horseshoe Casino in Elizabeth, IN, where I proceeded to lose all of our hard earned money...Okay, I didn't lose all of it, but $50 seems like a lot when it's gone in 30 minutes. 

We then headed over to the hotel.  Jesse told me to stay in the car while he checked in.  First of all, let me tell you that we got a REALLY good price on our room through Priceline negotiator.  If you've never tried it, you should.  We've stayed at some beautiful hotels, for extremely cheap! So after he checks in, he comes out to get me and says that they upgraded our room for free.

"Really?" I said. "To what?"

"Well, we are now staying in a King Suite on the Club floor." Jesse proceeded. " I told them it was our one year anniversary, so we got an upgrade." Jesse said they were extremely friendly, and asked what our plans were. "Well, I'm going to take her to King Fish for dinner." Jesse said.

Okay, it was not our one year anniversary and I don't usually condone lying, but I was pretty excited to stay on the Club floor, so I let this one slide. And I was really excited about King Fish because all of the guys that Jesse works with had highly recommended it.

So we're all dressed up and drive on over to King Fish.  The place was pretty busy, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that we were the nicest dressed people there. We were definitely in Kentuckiana! We finally sit down and we're less than two feet away from the table next us. Not very romantic...

 So, we order some crab legs, and in the meantime our waitress brings out some hushpuppies as an appetizer. Only she said they we were out of plates and gave us a stack of napkins to eat our appetizer on.  Really?  How are you out of plates? Napkins? 

We finally get our food (that was served in a basket), and Jesse spills his little cup of butter and there is butter everywhere! We get that half-way cleaned up and Jesse proceeds to crack open his crab legs, when all of a sudden a piece of crab flies over the table and into the hair of the lady sitting two feet away from us.  And...we didn't tell her...

Now, I'm not a food snob at all, it's just that we were all dressed up and planning this romantic weekend.  Plus, so many people had recommended this place.  Not to mention, Jesse had bragged to the hotel receptionist that he was taking me here.  I can't imagine what they were thinking....

But we laughed the whole way through dinner, and I will definitely never forget our fake one-year anniversary dinner!

Here are some pictures of the awesome hotel:
