A Grand Day Out

If you're having Tums for breakfast, does it mean it was a good night? Or a bad one?

Actually, yesterday was a really lovely day! We started the morning with our traditional anniversary breakfast at Ruth's Diner. We always insist on being seated on the patio, despite the chilly September temperatures (part of the fun for us is bundling up in a cozy sweater and sipping hot chocolate and tea in the brisk morning air). There was really no need for the sweater this year, however, as it was a delightfully warm morning and we sipped our tea and coffee in perfect comfort.

After breakfast, we had some time to kill before our afternoon movie so we took a little jaunt through Emigration Canyon. The colors are just starting to change and we're anticipating in a few weeks they will be vibrant. *sigh* Fall is here!

After the movie (we saw Igor, which was less awesome than I anticipated but still cute and entertaining), we headed to Jason's Deli for lunch. As we were enjoying our club sandwich and salad, we saw Mark Hamill's face pop up on the television with the caption "Happy 57th Birthday" appearing beneath it.

Wait, we were married on Mark Hamill's birthday?

Wait, Mark Hamill is 57? He could be my dad! Trippy. But the fact that we were unknowingly wed on Luke Skywalker's birthday brought up an entire conversation about the missed opportunities to "nerd up" our wedding, including reciting vows in either Wookie or in the style of Yoda ("as my lawful wife, take this woman I do"). There's always our 10th anniversary, I suppose.

Our evening came to a perfect end with dinner at Cafe' Molise. What an absolutely delightful establishment. A bit on the pricey side, but delicious food and a perfect ambiance for a relaxing and intimate meal. We dined outdoors in the cool night air, amongst the trees and the lights that adorn the patio. *sigh* Lovely.
