MOTD
Our first outing for this year's Dine About Town was successful. We went to a nice French restaurant and had a great time and excellent food. Later today we're going on our second excursion, and while we usually go out for dinner, we'll be having a late lunch instead because the place we're going to is set on a cliff with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean.
When we weren't gorging ourselves yesterday, we watched a few episodes of
Jekyll, a British miniseries about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and some Australian Open where our favorite Kim Clijsters has moved on to the final 16.
