la dolce vita...the sweet life

on thursday night, adam and i went out to celebrate 1 year of being together. adam planned the night and wanted to surprise me as to what we would be doing.

we headed downtown for dinner. "adam, i bet we are going to the restaurant where we had our 1st date." adam's reply, "hah. no, of course not. that would be too obvious."
but that's where we ended up going. the 2nd time's the charm. we ate at taverna, where we had our 1st date 1 year ago. this time, we ate outside on the patio. great for people watching.
it reminds me of a european cafe. you can sit outside and enjoy the weather. the restaurant is located on the corner of a cute, narrow street downtown with modern shops on it. the trees are lit up at night.
we ate italian-style pizza with mozzarella and shrimp. as we were eating i saw the horse and buggy go by. "adam, we should do that next." adam replied, "oh, no. we can't tonight. i didn't bring any cash on me." ok.
the next thing i know a horse and buggy came up to the restaurant to pick us up. adam had the ride planned all along! after the fun carriage ride, we were tired and ready to go home. however, adam said he wanted to take the scenic route on our way home. little did i know, he had 1 more stop planned.
gelato at dolce vita. adam knows i love gelato especially at dolce vita.
i agree with the gelato shop's name...it is a dolce vita.
