We had a wonderful weekend and I was sad to see it go. Friday night we had dinner with friends and Craw and I crashed early as we were both worn out from the week. Craw started a new job back in January and he has to attend quarterly regional meetings. They always do giveaways at these meetings and he won an overnight stay at the Marriott in downtown New Bern as well as gift cards to Morgans and Bakers Kitchen. We decided Labor Day weekend was the perfect weekend to cash in those vouchers and we had THE VERY BEST time.
New Bern is a place we drive past all the time but have never stopped and admired its beauty. The downtown area by the water is gorgeous and it was so nice to "get away" even though we were only a little over an hour away from home.
We arrived in New Bern around 2 on Saturday and the hotel let us check in early. I enjoyed a relaxing afternoon nap while Craw ventured out to check out our surroundings. I unfortunately had a headache so that was the main reason I decided to relax. We went to Morgans for dinner and it did not disappoint. Craw loved their meat loaf and I was drooling over their mac-n-cheese.
Sunday morning we woke up and Craw went to the lobby to get my Starbucks. I could get used to waking up to Starbucks every single morning. We then went to eat at Baker Kitchen and it did NOT disappoint. I was told to try the french toast and it was by far the best french toast I've ever eaten. We will definitely be going back to New Bern soon.
After breakfast we made the trek to the burg to get Camden. Craw's parents kept him and he had a blast with them. We decided to take Camden out to the golf course later in the day and he did good for the first 2 holes and then he was over the heat and gnats. He eventually fell asleep on me and I enjoyed watching Craw play the remaining holes.
Monday was a day of relaxation and I may have taken 2 naps with Camden. It was glorious. I definitely look forward to the long weekends where we can spend extra time with Camden but it sure was nice to get away for a night. Looking forward to doing it again soon.
