Firsts.
Saturday night was really perfect weather so we decided to pitch the tent in the yard next to the gigantic pile of sod and give sleeping in a tent with Gehry a test run. We made it until about 1:00am before stumbling back into the house due to repeated outbursts of barking. We’re shooting for 3:00am next time. Sorry Westmorland, it’s him, not you.
We didn’t take any photos, but yesterday was Gehry’s first swimming lesson courtesy of the Yahara Heights Dog Park. The park is located on the North tip of Madison and is bordered on one side by the Yahara RIver.
He was having nothing to do with the water. Even after two hours of watching every other dog in the park try it. I guess we have to baby step it over to Devil’s Lake soon so he can learn how to wade in the ankle deep and realize just what he’s missing.
Final first of the weekend was Rooftop Bar at 608.
Sunday night was gorgeous as well, Danna was still winding down the juice fast, and I was tiring of cooking for one so we decided to go to Pasqual’s at Hilldale to meet up with Dave, Courtney, Matt, and Katie for some chips, guac, and drinks at their outdoor deck. We didn’t realize they closed so early on Sundays so we soon found ourselves being politely rushed out the door which prompted one of the members of our crew, who had already proclaimed himself to be in Margaritaville, to suggest that we hit up the rooftop down the block for some dessert and a final drink.
Pretty decent spot. The novelty of being in a big open outside spot a 5 minutes bike ride from home was enough to make me want to return and sample some of the dinner menu. Couple intriguing veggie options. Bonus points for having Knot Stock on tap. My new favorite beer. I’m sure we’ll be back after seeing an over-priced movie sometime soon.
