We had a fun-packed weekend celebrating Greg's 30th birthday. First, Greg was treated to his favorite breakfast (ham, turkey & cheese omelette and pancakes). He had to go to work right after but he was definitely filled. Then my friend watched the kids for us and we went to Ruth Chris's steakhouse on Thursday night. It was our first time there and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. The ambiance of the place was magnificent. Our waiter was very pleasant and treated us very respectable and personable (he called us by our names). They had also noted that we were celebrating a birthday so Greg received a complementary dessert with a lit candle.
It was really wonderful! Most restaurants don't even recognize your birthday in any special way anymore. This was definitely a nice touch. Most importantly we enjoyed our food. Greg ordered the New York strip steak and he was very impressed with it. I admit I tasted a piece of his and I enjoyed it as well. Always one for seafood, I ordered their New Orleans style shrimp and loved it! It was nice celebrating Greg's birthday at Ruth Chris's steakhouse and we would definitely recommend it. We ended our night with watching a movie at Citrus Park. It was funny because we were the only ones in the theatre at 7:30 pm on a Thursday night, apparently. We watched the entire movie without any other customers and we totally loved it. It's almost as if they rolled out the red carpet treatment for Greg's birthday (hey I'm a dreamer...). However, we had never had this experience before and it was awesome. We could laugh and comment as loud as we wanted and WE DID. Greg's birthday night was a very memorable one for us. It was definitely nice getting out and going on a date too.
The birthday celebration continued into the weekend. Greg's parents came up for a visit. They got here on Saturday night. So on Sunday night they decided to take us out to celebrate Greg's birthday. We went to the Cheesecake Factory (one of our favorite). We both ordered our favorites and it was another night of great food, good conversation and great laughs. Even the kids were well-behaved and seemed to enjoy the food and being at the restaurant. We always love going to the Cheesecake Factory and their cheesecakes are to die for. I also like the fact that I can also bring home a doggie bag when I go there since they serve very big portions of food. It was definitely another memorable night of celebration for Greg's 30th birthday. In addition, it was an awesome weekend for our family. That's all any of us can really ask for, to spend some memorable times with our loved ones. Thank you Jesus!
