Birthday Weekend

It was a busy Memorial Day Weekend for us. Nick celebrated his 30th birthday and we visited Chuck E. Cheese. Although, Nick is a complete kid at heart; we didn't book him a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. The Chuck E. Cheese birthday party was thrown for my nephew, Lance's, birthday (his birthday is two days after Nick's)
.

For Nick's birthday, we went to Market Street for dinner. Sadly, Chuck E. Cheese might have been a better place to eat. I guess Nick and I are total "seafood snobs" these days, because neither of us thought our seafood dishes at Market Street were that fresh, or delicious- especially for the price (I knew we should have done dinner at Bambara instead). This weekend, we are headed to Ruby River Steakhouse for another birthday dinner for Nick- it should be better. Ruby River is definitely no El Guacho, or Ruth's Chris (ahhhh, R.C's Lobster Bisque); but at least we know that going in to things; so we don't have unrealistic expectations. Everyone in UT raves about Market Street. I just wasn't feeling it. After a GREAT DEAL of research, the only place I have found good salmon in UT is at the Cheesecake Factory.

But seriously... I am digressing... About Food... Again. I think after being made sick by food for the first five months of this pregnancy I am over-compensating now that I am enjoying my meals (and snacks, and desserts) FINALLY. And the scale certainly agrees. I am still doing better (weight-wise) in this pregnancy, than I did with Reagan. But that isn't saying much, since I gained 50 pounds with Reagan :) AND I still have 9+ weeks to go. So, I may be speaking too soon. Only time will tell.

Here are the pic's from Chuck E. Cheese. They aren't very clear, due to the fact that I realized my camera battery was dead upon arrival at the Birthday Party. So, Nick used his iPhone to snap some photos.

I'm glad you guys had a great Memorial Day. I for one am not a big seafood fan. I like fish, but that's about it.

I am very picky about my salmon too, and I have found two that I love: Tuscany and Roma. They are far away from you, but might be worth the trip. A pregnant lady deserves good food!
