anniverthday

I forgot to really mention that we had a good time on our first anniversary in Las Vegas (see date above). I had never been, so we spent a good deal of time just checking out the various hotels. We also visited the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay and the IMAX at the Luxor, where we stayed. Vegas was fun, but certainly outlived itself in a short amount of time. No wonder no one ever goes for more than a few days.

Yesterday was Ric's birthday, so I took him out to The Summit House. Holy crap! Why haven't I ever gone there?! That was probably one of the best nights out to dinner I've ever had. The English Inn atmosphere, the view from atop the hill, the wonderful pianist and singer, the respectful servers, the great food, the FANTASTIC wine... What a great experience. All this time I thought I didn't really care for wine, when it was really that I had never had good wine!

I loved the English theme in food and decor (who would have thought I would enjoy cabbage leak and potato soup?), and really felt like that was what our culture should gravitate towards - an atmosphere that stimulates you to intellectual conversation and an appreciation of the finer parts of a culture.

Ric really enjoyed his birthday. We topped off the night by visiting with the fam (whom we had dinner with yesterday), and now Ric is having fun with his gifts: Sledgehammer Season 1, Simpsons Season 4, and Sealab Season 1.
