Our Anniversary Weekend

Saturday marked our 5th wedding anniversary so Mike and I headed down to Portland for a night out on the town without Tatum. It was great to get out and do something out of the ordinary since most nights are spent eating at home and relaxing on the couch with the dogs after Tatum has gone to bed. Additionally, this was the first time that we have gone out without other couples since Mike returned from deployment so it was nice to spend time alone. We started out the evening at a wine bar in Old Port before heading to Bresca for some great Italian. Our dinner was delicious and we stepped outside of the box and ate some new things: dates stuffed with gorgonzola cheese and chorizo and kale with pancetta soaked in a butter sauce atop fried multi-grain bread with a six-minute boiled egg on the side. To top it off, we stopped at Whole Foods on the way home and grabbed some Chocolate Port which we enjoyed while indulging in a chocolate peanut butter tart and a mini chocolate truffle cake.

Overall, we had a great weekend: we grilled out on Friday night after walking downtown with Tatum for some ice cream and today we celebrated Father's Day.
