Anniversary night out!

Bryan’s mom is here in town this week, and last night she watched Andrew and Sylvia while Bryan and I went on a date to celebrate our 10th anniversary.  It wasn’t just a dinner date…it was an all-night-away-from-home date!  We dined at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, and oh, my, gosh, it was good.

Every part of the meal was good.  I could go on in detail about the scallops appetizer, my fillet with shrimp that was oh, so magnificent, the pecan crusted sweet potatoes and creamed spinach sides, mmmmm, and berries and cream (which was just like sweetened condensed milk) for dessert.  Oh my.  So good.  Bryan had the ribeye steak and the bread pudding dessert, and he was equally enthusiastic.

After a leisurely, three-hour meal (eating slowly was such a treat!), we headed to the Mansion Hill Inn, which is where we stayed the night of our wedding 10-years ago.  ahh memories.

What a lovely way to celebrate 10 years of marriage!  Through dinner, we reminised about our honeymoon in Switzerland, the last 10 years, our amazing children, and how much our relationship has grown and deepened because of pregnancy, birth, and child-rearing.

We also did some dreaming about what kinds of things we want to do in the next 10 years.  We’re hoping for some family driving vacations, so stay tuned in upcoming summers for new chapters of The Dotzour take the US.  Chapter one, the Badlands.

I recommend (if at all possible) taking an evening away from the kids and the house.  It felt good to spend some time with just my sweetheart.  It was a good reminder of how much we enjoy spending time together!
