We got home from the aquarium later in the afternoon. Melinda and I had reservations for the Armstrong Mansion, so Connie came over to stay with the kids overnight. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for them and they watched movies and played Lego Star Wars.
Melinda and I went out to eat at Christopher's Seafood and Steakhouse downtown at the Peery Hotel. Since it was the Friday night after Valentine's day, every restaurant was packed. But after a 35 minute wait, they seated us. The wait was definitely worth it; the food was absolutely fabulous! I had a pork chop stuffed with crab, spinach, parmesan, and wrapped in bacon; it was divine. Melinda had a tuna steak with wasabi cucumber sauce, it was quite tasty. It was kind of expensive, but we used Brian's Happenings card, so it wasn't too outrageous. Plus, it feels more like an occasion when it's at a really nice place.
Melinda was worried about leaving Saffron overnight, but she was just fine. Connie said when she woke up in the morning she growled at her (probably because she expected her mom) but then she went back to sleep anyway.
So it was nice to have a night out without the kids, though I suspect they thought it was even better to have a night without the parents.
