Italian Festival

Mom and Dad come over tonight to watch the kids and we had a double date night to celebrate Robert's big 30th birthday.

Up first, the Italian Festival.  It's always the same weekend as his birthday and it's a tradition to go every year.  He loves it, and I, well, I love him.

It was a fun night with friends.  We were reminiscing about how last year at the Italian Festival was the first time we really hung out as friends.  It's been a great year getting to know Clint and Amber and we are very thankful for their friendship.

After eating way too much food at the Italian Festival we decided to walk over to Fountain Square and explore a bit.  We stopped at Fountain Square Brewery.  

Robert did a tasting.  He wasn't a big fan of any of the beers but it was a fun experience. 

We walked around for a while longer and then went up to the Rooftop Garden.

The view was spectacular. The fireworks from the Indians game were going off and we had a great view.  

The view was so great we had to get some more couples shots.

As we walked back to the car, Amber spotted a 24 hour diner with a sign for biscuits and gravy and before you knew it, we were in there sitting down.  Robert loves biscuits and gravy but I can't stand the way they smell and refuse to cook them.  He was thrilled to get some for his birthday.  It was rather late by now and I thought a little snack might be nice so I ordered a short stack thinking two small softball-sized pancakes would come out.  This is what I go instead!

They were chocolate chip and they were delicious! And cheap!  All 4 of us ate for $12!!

We had such a fun night celebrating my favorite guy.
