Go with the flow

For the past 5 years, after seeing the matinee performance of A Christmas Carol at the Rep, we head to a Plaza restaurant—around 4 pm—put in our name and get seated within 45 minutes.  This year, without thinking that we were going the SATURDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS, we thought it would be the same.

Nope.  At 4, we were told we would be seated at 9:45 PM.  So, we headed south. 

After a wonderful dinner at Accurso’s, we walk outside and it was SNOWING!  We then went to Union Station and enjoyed the trains.

Headed downtown to see the lights there.

Then to Barnes and Noble for book shopping—our favorite!

The next morning, Harper and I made treats for the neighbors, which were returned 10- fold!

A very merry holiday outing! Thanks, family!

    Merry Christmas to you all! And THANK YOU!

    And Big Shamu - Accurso's was great. But different. It's way metro slick sexy now...not like the multitude of rooms and soft, creaky floors that it was...More Plaza, less Brookside, ya know? Yet, still good food and good service.
