from the Beautiful La Quinta Inn on McFarland Blvd!

Dr. Wife is doing a weekend stint as the Psych OD (Of the Day…. those wacky doctors) at Bryce Hospital….

We loaded up the whole Fam Damnly and headed west earlier today dropped the dogs off at Dr. Wife’s parents and then began our search for a place to eat. Somehow we always attempt to eat at the Cypress Inn (a place that my mom has been raving about for years) on the days when they are closed…. So after circling Tuscaloosa we settled on some sandwich shop with the plan of enjoying a sit down dinner later on tonight….

Well, as Dr. Wife was heading back from her afternoon rounds she eyed the parking lots of various restaurants around town and reported back that it wasn’t looking good. After attempting to eat at the last casual restaurant that would have a line and finding out that there was an hour and a half wait, we headed over to my sister’s boyfriend’s favorite place to eat in Tuscaloosa: Taco Casa.

So it’s a little after 10 on New Year’s Eve, my wife and I are laying on a standard size bed (the other bed in our room is literally covered with baby gear) flipping back and forth between MTV’s New Year’s coverage (seeing Nelly sing about “grills” makes us realize how old we’re getting…) and some standup guy on HBO. Thankfully we aren’t freaks about going out on NYE.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope it treats you well!
