To Boldly Go...to Linder's Plant Store and the "Super Bowl" Superbowl Party!

Monday, February 04, 2008

Last Friday evening Annah and I attended a concert entitled "To Boldly Go" (info here) which featured the Minnesota Orchestra and was performed at Orchestra Hall. Our good friend Carmen was gracious enough to invite us along to the event and it was awesome. Prior to dinner we ate at a very luxurious restaurant called Vincent A Restaurant where we were able to dine and have some delicious food and visit with Carmen's friends. At the concert, the Orchestra played Gustav Holst's "Mercury", "Mars", and "Jupiter" from his famous Planets, and they also played the themes from Star Trek, Star Wars, and other sci-fi movies/tv shows. It was a lot of fun since I'm a "Trekkie" of sorts and both Annah and I like classical music! After the concert we went out for drinks at Brit's Pub which was right across the street from Orchestra Hall. Following a good time there we went out to yet another place called Little Tijuana Restaurant...for some mini tacos and fried ice cream at about 2 am. We had an awesome time but we were exhausted by the time we crashed at Carmen's place.

On Saturday we came back to Rochester and hung out and watched the movie Ratatouille which was very lovely.

On Sunday we then drove back up to the cities and went to Linder's Garden Center, where I had never been before..but Annah had...and it is a very nice store with a great selection of plants. After shopping there we headed to Annah's Grandparent's house were they had their annual "Super Bowl" Superbowl Party where we eat soup out of very large (gigantic) bowls while we watched the Superbowl. Annah and I both had a wonderful time!

It was another incredible weekend and congratulations to the New York Giants for beating the New England Patriots in the Superbowl!

Additionally, I would like to thank Annah for a lovely weekend! ^_^
