Dinner Theatre

Thursday evening we went to the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse
that is located right behind the campground. I've only been to one other playhouse before and what a fun treat it was. We had great seats and the food was good too. Our appetizer was the best part of the whole meal....could have made a meal of that. Baked Brie in puffed pastry with peach chutney, candied walnuts, roasted garlic and toast point. Oh my was it good !The Creme brulee, that we had for dessert during intermission was really good too. Having it during intermission gave our tummies time to digest some of dinner before adding more. We both had the tilapia for our entrees, and it was ok but I wouldn't order it again. The play was The King and I and it was very good. Outstanding vocalists in the show....some of the women had opera-style voices with an immense range. The place was about 3/4 full on a Thursday evening so I can only imagine what the weekends must be. Residents are very lucky to have the playhouse here to take advantage of. We went to celebrate our anniversary which is on Sunday. Seven years ago on May 8th, I drove from Williamsport, PA to Harrisburg to meet Linda at a Borders bookstore. We spent hours talking and from that point on, a beautiful relationship developed. Beautiful weekend in store here. Not sure what we're doing today. Sunday we're driving to Estes Park to check it out. Sure wish we had a trike....would be a wonderful day for a motorcycle ride into the mountains. Someday.... Hope you all have a wonderful weekend wherever you might be and love the one you're with !

Our Anniversary...

Today is our 5th anniversary together and in usual fashion we re-created our first date. We went to Applebee's and had a great meal. Devin was our waiter and he surprised us at the end of the night by buying our round of drinks. What a nice guy ! In talking to him, he is from Orlando, FL and he isn't crazy about Baton Rouge either.He is planning on moving to Austin, Texas by the end of the year.

While we were having dinner, two sheriff's cars were searching a car they had pulled over in the parking lot next to Applebee's. Must have been a drug search as they were really going through that car. Didn't know we'd have entertainment with our meal. It will make for a memorable anniversary...when we're old and sitting in our rockers we can say, "Remember when we spent our 5th anniversary in Baton Rouge..." will make for a good laugh !
