Dining with Darcy

Like I discussed here, Keith and I have started taking Darcy with us on our Friday night dinner dates. With a little googling and a few phone calls, we have expanded our list of Darcy-friendly destinations. In the coming weeks, we hope to visit some of these restaurants- some old favorites, some new to us locales- with Darcy in tow.

ChaChah (We took Darc here last Friday. Great tapas, great weather, great people watching and lots of compliments on our cute and well-behaved pup.)

The Merc

I love downtown Franklin. I also love eating outside. On Fridays I hate cooking dinner. Darcy hates when Keith and I have been gone all day and we only stop by the house after work to feed her and change clothes before heading out again. A few weeks ago, we took all of that into account and arrived at the perfect solution- Franklin Mercantile Deli. We could eat outside and dogs are allowed! This may be one of mine and Keith's new favorite Friday night destinations. Darcy's too.

Lake Getaway

Last weekend Keith and I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days at Lake Wilson near Florence, Alabama. It was so great to have a quick getaway to relax, eat and play in the water. Keith is an expert skier/wakeboarder.

I, on the other hand, stuck to tubing. :)
Kissy loves riding in the boat! (Bella does too.)Thanks Joey and Lauren! We had a blast!

Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream

Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet with Raspberry Lavender Sauce... AMAZING.

Sunday Snapshot

From the previous Crockett Park pictures, it's obvious that I still have some work to do before I master the manual settings on my camera. I've recently gotten some new tips and tried them out at the last summer concert of the year. Here's our little fam at the Eagles cover band concert last Sunday.
