This post is a "little" wordy...maybe a lot wordie, please read it, it is so worthy!
I like Valentines Day...for us, it is an easy holiday to celebrate.
Here, it's all about love.
I don't want a gift, flowers or jewelry...I do love a pretty card and we generally eat out.
In December, the hubs tried to make a dinner reservation at a restaurant we were curious about.
They had nothing available.
The girl suggested Valentines Day, 2 months away.
The hubs was going to wait until she said all she had left on Valentine's Day was 2:30, he grabbed it.
WoW!! that was a great decision, and the name of this restaurant you ask...
Two young, very happy people, dressed in their Valentines best, met us at the door.
We chatted for a minute and our table was ready.
A great table, by the window with an awesome view of the Point Pleasant Inlet.
If you have been following my blog for any length of time,
you know this is where the hubs and I went on our first date.
and these yummy onion rings.
I know they were yummy because I ate two of the four.
I had Pasta Carbonara with Filet Tips and Pancetta, it was heavenly.
Huge chunks of filet and big pieces of pancetta.
These are some pictures from the dining room...the ceiling was covered with the decore.
The wait staff was impeccable, the restaurant was exquisite, artistically decorated for the holiday.
I saw the deserts they were serving and they looked amazing, very elaborate, but we just couldn't do it.
Backing up just a tad, there seemed to be a little confusion about it being our anniversary, it was not.
I struck up a conversation with the lovely young lady who seated us...
and she asked if we were celebrating a birthday, or special occasion.
We both said no but I went on to say, you know I did, that we have been married for 48 years.
The girls announced to the entire restaurant that we have been married for 48 years.
Everyone in the restaurant clapped and cheered, even me.
There was more, I babbled and babbled and turned as red as my valentine napkin.
That young couple seated behind us were so sweet, congratulating us as we left.
we will be back!
Thank you everyone, even to the few people I did not meet!
