Valentine's Night in Dallas

We decided to try and get some dinner at about 5:30 last night. Booty and Laur offered to cook, but since we are from Cedar City, and our food choices there are somewhat limited, we opted for "out". Our first choice was Maggiano's Little Italy, however we were told it would be a 2.5 hour wait. So we headed for Patrizio's, a local Italian restaurant. We were told that it would be about 45 minutes wait, so we went in search of a diversion. We ended up in Gymboree where we did a little looking. We didn't buy anything, but Leo did try on some really cool shades. He was quite cooperative while we waited.



Once we got seated, we got right to it. I promised pictures of our dinner, so that is what you are going to get. This is my plate, which was a chicken and mushroom lasagna with a smoked gouda cream sauce. It was magnificent.




Laur had lasagna, as well, but of course Leo decided it was time to eat once the food arrived.



Booty had a pasta dish that contained Italian sausage, lots of roasted red pepper, and penne. It was spicey and very tasty.



Bubby had some eggplant, parmesan style. She had plenty, so we all got a nice taste. It was very good, as well.



Of course Leo was the center of attention in the restaurant and he got lots of attention from nearly every passerby. We had a very nice dinner, and headed home, vowing that if dessert was desired, we would eat some ice cream at home. We never got that far.



Bubby and Poppy are always ready for bed by 9:00 PM, and once we got Leo settled in and watched a couple of episodes of "The Office" it was bedtime for all, including Booty and Laur, who had been up quite a bit with Leo the night before. It seems he prefers his crib (in the room where we are sleeping)to the baby bed in his Mom and Dad's room.
