Anniversary Dinner

Our normal anniversary meal consists of pizza, largely because it is something we did all those years ago at the Festival Motor Inn in Stratford. Besides that, we are pretty content just to hang out. While special outings and events are really nice on occasion, we keep life pretty low key for the most part.

Knowing that Shauna and the kids were planning on taking us to dinner for an actual anniversary dinner, Sue and I did go out to a local diner on the previous night. It was a very good, uncomplicated meal and definitely several rungs up from the usual pizza.

Come Friday, they picked us up and drove us into the city. We didn't know our destination until on the drive in when the kids couldn't hold back any longer.



We had never been to The Keg before, but Shauna has and raved about their steaks, which is what we ordered.

It was pretty dark in there, but I pulled off a few shots with the compact camera.








I did try a few food shots, but they didn't turn out well at all. But the food was good — very good.

While there, we were given a gift, in addition to the meal, I mean.




I am looking forward to that.

What a great gift/ I've always thought I'd love a ride in a hot air balloon, but always felt a bit to chicken.

What a fun evening. So glad the steak was great. So is Sue looking forward to the balloon trip too?

Wow. What a treat. We don't really do anniversaries around here.
That said, my son and DIL were married on their birthday, May 19th!
Happy anniversary.

OH, very sweet. Great that "the kids" took you out for dinner.
Our 50th was December 2017, and we had a low key all family dinner in a local restaurant. A bit more complicated--son and family in San Diego, daughter and family in London, UK. But they all gathered. And we finally got an all family photo for posterity.
CONGRATS on the 50th.
