Anniversary Dinner

We'd always wanted to try out Charley's Crab House which sits downtown on the river's edge, but a quick check of the on-line reviews revealed that the quality has gone down over the past year or so. In fact, rumor has it that the manager left, and he took some of the best employees with him, to start another little seafood restaurant called "Leo's".

So we went to Leo's instead.

The seafood was wonderful. We started out with some interesting appetizers, one of which was escargot (tee hee!); then Cheryl had some yummy whitefish & crab, while I just had to go for the King Salmon. For dessert, it was chocolate for Cheryl, and raspberries & ice cream for me.

Oh, my tummy hurt when we were done!

Afterward, we took a walk to work off some of the food, and wandered into a downtown dance party, ranging from Big Band to 50's classics to Jazz standards to Michael Jackson's Thriller to Pink. We were far too stuffed to dance, but we enjoyed watching all the high school and college folks getting their exercise.

Then we meandered down by the river, enjoying the sound of the rapids, before heading back home to see if the house was still standing.

(It was.)

You guys are simply too romantic for words. Congratulations. Ok, so I'm posting this a month late, but I only just figured out my user name and password to my blogger account!
love to all,
