Date night - anti-pasta

Preston and I went out last night to celebrate 15 years since we started dating (Wow, we are getting old). There is a great little Italian district in Tianjin. Some of our friends here watched Logan for us and he had lots of fun playing with their kids. We enjoyed walking through the Italian district before settling on a restaurant. It was a beautiful night. We even picked out the place to stop for dessert before we got to the restaurant. The restaurant was beautiful and in an old house. We had our own room to ourselves The manager came to wait on us and he spoke English. The menu had so many wonderful options. We had pretty much settled on what we wanted to eat and the power went out. We did not mind though, because they came and opened the door to the balcony and lit some candles for us. We sat and talked for a while and then stepped out on the balcony to enjoy the scenery. A little while later the manager told us he was very sorry but their was construction going on the next road and the crew had cut some electrical cables and the power was not going to be fixed until Saturday morning. We were a little sad we did not get to try the food, but had a great time just sitting and talking in a romantic setting. So, we were off to find a new spot to eat.
