Our weekend away was spent in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Romantic, isn't it? The situation was, there was a slew of snow storms trucking through Minnesota and we didn't want to get stuck in Rochester if I could still have the waterbirth in La Crosse. So we decided to spend the weekend in La Crosse so if I went into labor we'd be a mile from the hospital.
We stayed at the lovely Radisson in downtown La Crosse. They actually had a great restaurant called the Three Rivers, which we went to for lunch and dinner every day. We bought a styrofoam cooler at the local grocery and bought some snacks and breakfast cereal so we wouldn't be totally reliant on the restaurant to eat.
Although I associated the weekend with being in jail, we actually had a really good time. La Crosse had their Rotary Lights display a block from the hotel, so despite the 
snow and ice, we were able to walk over and see them. My favorite was the fire breathing dragon. Anyhow, needless to say, you didn't come into our lives that weekend. That was all determined at our last midwife appointment the following day, December 3rd, 2007.
Love you,
Mama
