Most women would put a day at the spa or a spa treatment at the top of their favorites list. Logic follows that a gift certificate would be the perfect birthday gift. However, there are three truths I have come to realize over my few years of parenthood regarding this so-called "perfect gift": (1) I rarely find the time to use the gift certificate, (2) I lose the gift certificate before I get the chance to use it, or (3) I hesitate to pay a babysitter $100, so that I can use the gift certificate to get my nails done.
With that said...I don't think I'll have to worry about gift certificate consumption this year. Aunt CC (in conjunction with my man) has organized a weekend getaway to downtown Charleston for my birthday. She and Uncle B will watch the kiddos all day Saturday and Sunday, so that Michael and I can spend some QT away from home. We're going to stay at The Planter's Inn, have dinner at Tristan's, and have brunch on Sunday at the Peninsula Grill. My only concern is we rely so heavily on Bowen, Kells, Talula and Wilhelmina for entertainment that I'm not sure we will know what to do without them under-foot for 48 hours; Michael assures me we will figure out a way to pass the time :).
NOTE: Don't get me wrong - I would never turn down a gift certificate for a facial or a pedicure, however, there is simply no price one can put on time away with your man! THANKS Aunt Corinne!
