Happy Birthday Christopher!

Last night we braved, by far, the worst weather of the winter and headed to Woodbridge to surprise Chris for his 40th birthday. In typical Sonja fashion the evening was meticulously planned and went off without a hitch. Everything from the venue to the cake to the meal was fantastic and we had a great time. Chris is the first of his 'gang' to reach this milestone and it looks good on him! Luckily I'm at least 8 years from that myself ;)

Going once, going twice.....

SOLD!

We returned from our weekend getaway to Nassau to find a sold sign in front of our house (in addition to more snow than when we left). So for now the pressure is off Luigi to make the bed everyday and hang up his towels.

Once again we were able to escape to the Bahamas for a long weekend. It was a nice break from winter and from the stress that comes with buying and selling homes (and in my husband’s case, changing jobs).

First stop after checking in was Athena Café for their signature Greek salad.



This time we stayed at the British Colonial Hilton and enjoyed the heated pool (the ocean was a bit too chilly for swimming).




Spent some time perusing the shops of Bay Street and seeing the sights.




Saturday we had a wonderful dinner at Graycliff. The tour of the wine cellar (3rd largest private collection in the world, insured for $20 million, housed in a former underground prison) was the highlight of the weekend. Nicolas Cage was having dinner in the cellar’s private dining room that evening so we had to wait for him to finish. Seriously.
