Skies Restaurant

I shouldn't keep track, but Captain has only been home about seven days in the past seven weeks.  It adds up, and he knew it.  So he asked me out on a proper date.  (I must say we enjoyed ourselves immensely.)  We had never been to the top of the Hyatt Hotel and the  view from "Skies" rotating restaurant was very quaint, especially with the light snow falling and the city lights sparkling.  Plus, I had an offer from Restaurant.com to make it more appealing.  I started with crab cakes and a glass of Pinot Grigio, of course.  He started with bisque of some sort, followed by a bottle of Napa Valley Merlot.  We marveled over the flavors of the sirloin, red snapper, asparagus, warm rolls, and butter with black salt flakes.  The dessert (delightful bread pudding) was lingered over with coffee, Baileys, and finally a glass of fine port.  For some reason, all the funniest tales from the previous weeks surfaced, and we found our conversation more unhurried and unworried than usual.  We didn't return 'til the following day.  We should run away again.

Most certainly, you should run away more often. Glad you had a fantastic time!
