Special Date with Jennie

Last night Jennie and I went on a date:

One of her coworkers offered to watch Keisha for us (for free). After we dropped Keisha off at her house in St. Bernard, Jennie and I drove around for a little while, and decided to go to the Alabama Fish Bar at the corner of Race Street and West Liberty Avenue.

The fish bar came highly recommended, and we could understand why. We ordered the Cod dinner, which comes with 6 pieces, some fries, and two slices of bread, which totaled $6.99. What a great deal! We also got some onions and peppers, which just added to the joy.

After we got our food, we drove around, looking for a place to park, hopefully near Fountain Square. No luck on a Friday night, it seemed. We finally found a place to park near the convention center. We considered walking the several blocks to Fountain Square, but we decided instead to stay at our parking spot and eat.

So Jennie and I ate our food and listening to MOJO 94.9. We learned that Luther Vandross had passed away from complications related to his stroke, and the radio station decided to play several of his songs.

After eating we drove around Mount Adams, Eden Park, and decided to head north on I-75. We got off at the Smith/Edwards exit and drove to Rookwood Pavillion. We parked the car near Joseph Beth Booksellers and went inside.

Jennie and I went to the cafe and each ordered something to drink. Then we explored the store before settling near the couple/relationship books.

After about an hour or so, we left the store and returned to pick Keisha up. Then we came home.
