For our 11th wedding anniversary, Robyn and I decided to head into NYC again this year. I made a dinner reservation at Bond 45 for 7:30 but we had Gram come watch the kids at 3 o’clock so we could leave early and walk around. Here’s Robyn showing off her hot little dress on her “new” body. Amazing!

The first thing we noticed right after we parked the car was that it was much more windy than we had expected. Robyn did wear smart shoes this time but she was also wearing a dress so she was freezing. The first place we went was a store so Robyn could get some pants. After trying on a few pair, she purchased one and put them on under her dress. She’s so ingenious! We headed back out and walked all over Times Square. For a place that gets so much attention from the world, there’s not a whole lot to do in Times Square unless you want to shop. We went into a bunch of different places and bough the kids some stuff from the M&M Store.

Dinner was pretty good – not great. There was no comparison to last year’s feast although we did have a delicious meringue cake for dessert and I had a tasty Malbec with our meal. After dinner we walked south to the Empire State Building where we looked up and saw the full Moon overhead. It was a beautiful sight that’s definitely not fully captured in the photo above. We headed back to the car since things were closing up for the night. All-in-all, we had a good time out on the town.

Friday, February 24th was our 10th wedding anniversary and we had a fantastic night. We drove into New York City and had dinner at Del Frisco’s Restaurant. The food was really good, as it should be, since it’s the most expensive single meal we’ve ever ordered. But it was worth it! We never go out and this was a special occasion for us. At the beginning of our meal, we had two glasses of Moscato that was very sweet and quite tasty. I think mine was gone before we were finished ordering dinner! I ordered a delicious 16 ounce steak and Robyn got a steak trio that included a little foie grois which I thought was delicious. I’ll definitely have to try that again some time. In addition to the main courses, we ordered a cauliflower au gratin made with brie and an order of sweet potato casserole. I started with a crab cake and Robyn had shrimp cocktail.

I’m glad that I had mentioned it was our anniversary since, at the end of the meal, the waitress brought us some complimentary champagne and banana bread pudding with ice cream and a candle on top.

We walked around the Times Square area for a while after dinner since we had some time to kill before our comedy show at 10:30. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been to Times Square – it’s really a pretty amazing place – so many people from all over the world taking photos and looking at the scenery.

After grabbing some coffees and a cab, we headed uptown to Comic Strip Live. The show was a lot of fun and they even invited the whole audience to stay for the late show for free. But it was getting late and we had stuff to do on Saturday so we opted out and took a cab back to get our car to drive out of the city. We got home after 1:00 a.m. and didn’t get to sleep until about 3:30 or 4:00.
