A Cold Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day we were still dealing with the Polar Vortex.  Back at Christmas time I was having trouble picking out an outfit for a 70 degree Christmas Eve and now on Valentine's Day I was struggling with an outfit for a -30 degree Valentine's Day date.

Our first stop was The Brattle Theater.  It's been our Valentine's Day tradition to watch Casablanca at the Brattle.  This year they couldn't show Casablanca so they showed The Princess Bride.  The show was completely sold out and it was fun to see the movie on the big screen.

After the movie we headed over to the Sheraton to have dinner at Nubar.  It's only an eight minute walk but it was rough.  Nubar was pretty crowded so it was a good thing we had a reservation.  I love everything about Nubar because it's filled with great memories for us and the food is so good!

Just as we were getting ready to eat dessert the fire alarm went off.  JO and I were the only ones who got up to evacuate.  Maybe it's the teacher in me, but if the alarm goes off you get out.  Eventually the manager made everyone leave.  I'm so glad they let us get our jackets first.  We were only outside for about five minutes and it was freezing, but it was the right thing to do.  It made for a good story.  Ten years ago The Brattle was evacuated while we were watching Casablanca so it was extra funny for us.



After dinner we headed home to get ready for the Parlor Prom.  Our friends at Parlor Sports had decorated the place in perfect 80s prom fashion complete with make your own Valentine's craft table and photo booth.  The people at Parlor Sports are absolute class acts and made the freezing walk there and back totally worth it.
