Monday Morning Blog

Sure has been a few weeks since my last post.  Things have just been super crazy!  I have been travelling and trying to spend quality time with my family because I have been travelling so much.  I can tell you that we have been busy with my son's football.  We did get some apple picking in before the cold weather.  I did get a new car which I really enjoy driving.  Went to a retirement party for my dad.  That was really cool because all the kids got together and that does not happen too often.  Went a few times with the G's.  That is always fun and late.  Halloween is coming up real soon.  That is probably my second favorite 'holiday' behind Christmas.  I just like the dressing up part or maybe its the candy.

This Weekend was MUCH Better

Last week was pretty rough but I made it.  I was very much looking forward to spending some time out with ERK.  We did get a limo to take us to our first stop.

Clifton Wine Bar
We got there at about 5:30.  This place opens at 5.  We were the only ones in there for some time.  Bartender was the owner and very knowledgeable about wines.  I started off with a Malbec and ordered a meat and cheese plate.  Everything was awesome!  I would recommend this place.

Next we went to Lolita's in Tremont.  We did not stay too long,  Sat at the bar and drank some more wine.  The staff was very friendly and we always seem to be very comfortable in this place.  However, we wanted to go somewhere and watch some College Football.  We went to Treehouse but quickly turned around.

Ended up at Lago!
We had never been here.  We sat at the bar, first question, can we watch the football game?  Bartender quickly replied...Hell Yes!  So we stayed.  We had a few more glasses of wine before we ordered some food.  I had a fillet Mignon with some sort of noodle with cheese.  Was out of this world good stuff.  ERK ordered some ravioli with goat cheese, she still talks about how good it was.  I think we had a great time at this place and would be back sooner than later.  Great food, clean, great vibe!
