Okay, I love this:
At Four Seasons Hotel Chicago on any given Thursday night, parents can enjoy their own private date night and sup on gourmet foodie fare like the adults they are while the hotel provides free childcare with any dinner for two. Yes, you heard me.
While the grown-ups savour Executive Chef Kevin Hickey's creative culinary offerings (think Beef Tartare with Homemade Beer Mustard or Brioche-Crusted Wild Alaskan Halibut), the kids get to enjoy their own buffet of chicken fingers, mac 'n' cheese and fruit kabobs, all under the watchful eye of a licensed babysitter. And that's not all. The kids' dinner also includes the use of Nintendo Wii, board games, colouring books and a selection of movies. In fact, they'll have so much fun they'll be begging mom and dad for another date night, ASAP!
No more early bird special and tabletop tantrums? Worth a trip in itself!
What do you do when on vacation with the kids? Do you find a way to try for at least one night out without them? Or do you find you're trapped in your hotel room every night, drinking wine in the bathroom? (Maybe that's just us?)
