Anniversary/18 months/Fathers Day

Thanks for all the great advice on our anniversary celebration. We decided to spend the money on a really nice dinner that if we were using our own money, would have never done. We went to La Caille, a very nice French restaurant/winery tucked at the base of the mountain in Salt Lake. The area is beautiful and has several peacocks, rabbits, swans and ducks milling about the cottage. A particularly large and beautiful peacock sat right above my head for the majority of the meal. To make you jealous this is what we ate:

Pre appetizers: Baguette, Marinated Cucumbers and Sliced Duck

Hors devours: Escargot (me) and Pate (BSC)

Salad: Crab & Avocado (me) and Wilted Spinach (BSC)

Main Entree: Sirred Duck (me) and Rack of Lamb (BSC)

Dessert: Grand Marnier Souffle (me) and Crepe Suzette (BSC)

Coffee: Copper Cappuccino; cappuccino with butterscotch schnapps, creme de cacao and chantilly creme

After-dinner refresher: White and dark chocolate covered strawberries

I felt like I was going to explode by the time we were done, but it was so yummy. I have never spent so much money on a meal for two in my entire life. Was it worth it? Yes. If I was spending my own money? Probably not.

A couple of weeks ago, Nathan turned 18 months old. As with everything this month, his letter is going to be a bit late. I know, I know, I'm awful. But life has gotten a bit out of hand lately.

Today is Father's Day. Happy FD BSC! You are a wonderful husband and daddy. I couldn't have asked for more.
