104: Date Night

We were expecting snow, so with a 9:30AM appointment, Shaun and I decided to head to Winston Salem the night before our transfer. We put Julie down for her nap, then hit the road, and left Linda in charge. We got to Winston Salem at dinner time, and, of course, had Japanese! We found a new restaurant, Mizu Japanese, and will definitely be returning. They had a full sushi menu, and excellent soup and hibachi. We left dinner, and headed to the hotel. We have always stayed at the Quality Inn on Hawthorne Lane. Since we didn’t decide ahead of time that we’d stay over night, we didn’t book a room. They always have availability, the rooms are clean, and the price is great. We got to the hotel, and for the first time ever, they were completely booked. They had a wedding party and guests for a soccer tournament. There was no room and the inn.

Our doctor’s office always had information about a hotel that offered discounts to patients. The starting price for their rooms was $135/night, so we’d never looked in to it. Since we were stuck without a room, we decided to see what they had to offer. We drove to the Hawthorne Inn, and were extremely surprised. The hotel is owned by the hospital, and offered a 50% discount to patients. We booked a room, and were pleasantly surprised. The hotel was extremely nice, and we will definitely stay there again. 

After checking in, we decided to go to the movies. We watched I Can Only Imagine, then headed back to our hotel, and crashed for the night.
