Art, seafood and love

It was a date night last Friday. We were looking forward to it all week, and it was a busy one.
That day was so busy I didn't even have time to change my clothes before going out. We picked Sean up at school and dropped him off with his dad, and we were off to...
What to do? Where to go? Where to eat? Hmmm.
A few months back Chuck won a yearly pass to the art museum, and we hadn't even used it yet. Our date began early enough to visit the museum for about 45 mins. before it closed.

It was great. I hadn't been there in a few years. Unbelievable, but true.
Our favorite was the Virna Haffer exhibit. That link is to the Tacoma Art Museum page, but if you Google her a lot of information will come up, including recent articles written about her. She spent the early part of her life right here in our community, living in the anarchist colony of Home. A photographer visited the community and her curiosity was peaked. She decided to become a professional photographer. What an amazing artist. The volume of her work, the subjects, it was all so impressive. I loved it! We plan to go back before it ends on Nov. 6.

Our choice for dinner was Anthony's at Pt. Defiance. Dinner was delicious and we had such a great time just talking about our future, and plans for our home and our lives. I had fettuccine with shrimp, and we got the four course special. Shrimp cocktail as appetizer, salad, main course, and chocolate mouse for dessert.
