Staycation time. . . . . . .

. . . . . . . yes, we're doing another one just a few minutes from home!  

An overnight at very nice hotel tucked in between the new 'Midtown' area

of hi-rise office and apartment buildings, shops, restaurants, breweries,

 coffee shops, and cinema - you name it, they have it here.

 It's not a tourist location we'd choose of course, but as we had a free night 

to use from a national hotel chain, and it was about to expire, we 

checked in this afternoon.

The pool area was a magnet for the usual - families with young children - we are
 enjoying it from our window rather than out in the hot sun and 88F.

I'm sipping a nice chilled rosé right now and dinner plans are decided. 

We've not had Indian in some time so will be heading 10 minutes north
 a bit later to the Taj Mahal (no, not THAT Taj Mahal unfortunately!).
Hopefully some tasty vegetarian fare is on the menu.

Tomorrow we'll enjoy the included breakfast here, check out, and head
 back home down the street with our overnight bags.
