I printed out the business cards I designed and cleaned the house, then my mother came over around 4:00 and drove me (with the kids) to the train station so I could take the train in to meet Tim. My mother stayed with the kids at our house while Tim and I skipped our cycling class so I could attend my spring meeting of the Massachusetts Production Coalition. I met up with Tim at South Station and we walked down Essex Street looking for a new restaurant to try. Tim said he'd seen a pub down a side street that he'd been wanting to try, so we went there.
As soon as we stepped through the door, we both realized it was no pub. It was a five star restaurant. Yikes! We decided to stay anyway since we really have never dined at such a place. Or at least we haven't while we've been together. ;)
I forget what the place is called (I'll have to look it up...it was something French-sounding with a "C" and an apostrophe).
Some photos of the decor. The red walls are the bathroom, which I absolutely loved:
The building appeared to be from the late 1700's - early 1800's...it was gorgeous. There were paintings on the ceilings and even better original artwork on the walls.
All of the food was outrageously good - very fresh-tasting. I accidentally ate some sort of fish with my salad...didn't think there would be fish in a Caesar salad..whoops!
I had filet mignon with a bernaise sauce, and Tim had Weiner Snitzel (I know I spelled that wrong!) and we both shared a chocolate cake for dessert..
I had a glass of wine to top it all off, then we headed to Kenmore for my meeting. Got there just in time for everything to begin. There was a panel of lawyers who deal with copywrite and entertainment law and a Q&A session was held. VERY informative and helpful!!! After that a marketing firm held a presentation (Push Partners) which was also VERY informative and helpful. My mind was spinning with ideas while they were all talking. My brain was turned on that night, apparently. I took copious amounts of notes on what they were saying as well as what was running through my mind, then we headed home.
Got home around 11:30 and thanked my mother profusely for watching the kids that long. Can't believe she was still awake!
