We just got back from a wonderful anniversary dinner. Lee made reservations for us a couple days ago by walking to the restaurant and handing over his business card. It's the kind of restaurant that has set seating times and seats everyone around the chefs. It's by far the fanciest place I've ever eaten. Here are the chefs getting started on the main course.

First we were served little tiny bites of appetizers...

Followed by salad...

(that's shrimp sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes), soup, chicken, seafood, filet mignon, and grapefruit sorbet to cleanse the palette. Then we were reseated for dessert and drinks but while we were waiting they surprised us with this:

When Lee had made the reservation the maitre d' had asked if it was a special occasion and he told him we'd be celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary. The waitress even took our picture and gave us a card.

We finished off our little chocolate cake as well as a beautiful little lemon cake too.

We had planned on taking a taxi back home but decided it was such a beautiful evening that we walked home instead. We even passed through a sweet little plaza with a fountain.

All in all a delightful way to spend the beginning of the next 31 years together!
