Meghan has mentioned that we don't do much in the way of celebrating Valentine's Day, but we do typically exchange cards and go out to dinner. We timed out date night this month with Valentine's Day weekend, and because I get tomorrow off because it's President's Day (although this is the last year, as my new company doesn't give that as a holiday), we were able to treat tonight like a weekend night and go out to eat. We went to the Melting Pot, which remains one of out all-time favorite restaurants. My previous company gave all employees who were not local to HQ, and therefore not able to attend the Christmas party, $100 to spend on a night out for dinner. This is probably another thing that will go away next year, but we had it this year, so I used that to offset the cost of the dinner, because while the restaurant is amazing, it certainly isn't cheap. I had the same outstanding California salad that I always get, and Meghan tried the Cobb salad, which she found to be excellent. We went with the classic Cheddar for the cheese fondue, and the Mojo for the entree fondue. This year we added the lobster tail to our normal selection (filet mignon, shrimp, etc.), and that was well worth it. We finished with the bananas foster for the dessert fondue, which they make at your table complete with the flames that barely showed up in the photo, though you can see at the top the server's hand and the shaker of whatever he was adding. It was all wonderful. We had a fantastic time out and are so thankful that Mom and Ron afford us these opportunities.
