I just have to AW this because I'm soooo excited. DH's aunt and uncle gave us an overnight stay at The Siena Hotel in Chapel Hill to use before the baby comes! (For those not in RTP, that place is super swanky.) It includes dinner at Il Palio, a suite, chocolate covered strawberries, champagne (which DH will drink!), and breakfast at Il Palio the next morning. I'm so excited to go! I've driven past that place so many times and have never been in. I hope it's as nice in person as I've always heard it is.
Now for a question: If you've eaten at Il Palio, do I need to wear a dress, or can I wear slacks? I don't have any nice maternity dresses and really hate to buy one for a single dinner. But, I'll do it if I have to.
Re: We got an awesome pre-baby gift!

Awesome! Have fun!
That will be so much fun!!! DH's dad used to work there so he got us a suite for Valentine's day a few years ago and dinner/breakfast included. It was awesome!
We ate at Il Palio, and honestly .... I want to say I dressed casually. Not too casual, but jeans and a nice shirt. I don't think it's a huge deal .... BUT - I'd probably wear something other than jeans, but you don't need to go all out.
