Overnight Without Luke!!

 
Mike and I were able to get away overnight last weekend for the first time since Luke was born. My parents were more than happy to keep Luke overnight! We went to Detroit to watch the Red Wings play. I'm not going to lie, we bought the cheap seats, BUT cheap as we are, we eyed some (empty) good seats during the entire first period. We decided to make our move during the first break and ended up watching the rest of the game from the 7th row!! We had dinner beforehand in Greektown and rode the People Mover to the game, and Mike got to see Gordy Howe (former Red Wings player) who was at the stadium signing autographs. We spent the night at the Omni Hotel on the Detroit River and took advantage of our chance to sleep in! It was a great time! 
Luke had lots of fun with and slept well for his grandpa and grandma and probably didn't even notice we were gone! Aunt Anna brought him a lion which he loves to play with. We've been working on his ROAR!

Glad you were able to get away. It feels kind of weird the first time away from your little one, but from our experience, it gets easier every time! Good thing for grandparents.

Who would want to watch the red wings??? Definitely not me :) Glad you guys had fun. All I request is that if you decide to take Luke to a game that you take him to watch a good game...you know, an Aves game!
