![]() I have been an oyster fanatic since I was a little girl (my dad says they were one of my favorite foods at 5 years old) and the oysters we had on Saturday night may have been the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. ![]() Everything from the char-grilled oysters and caramelized Brussels sprouts to the truffle mac and cheese, shrimp and grits and the s’mores dessert was a complete slam dunk. (My drink, which I left totally up to our server, was unreal.)įor the most part, we followed our server Darren’s recommendations and ordered many small plates to share. (Our server told us the building where The Cellar’s underground space is located was originally built in 1912 and operated as a pharmacy.) Ryan and I have been dying to try it out and thought Greg’s birthday was the perfect occasion.įrom the moment we arrived, the evening felt special thanks to the soft lighting, eclectic décor, out of this world cocktails and incredibly attentive and enthusiastic service. ![]() We had reservations at The Cellar at Duckworth’s, a hidden speakeasy restaurant tucked away uptown below Duckworth’s restaurant.Įver since The Cellar opened a little more than a year ago, I’ve heard only the best things about the restaurant, their craft cocktails, gorgeous beer cellar and the oh so cool and unique atmosphere. Ryan, Greg and I thanked Elisabeth before heading into the city for an adults-only birthday dinner with the birthday boy!īirthday Dinner at The Cellar at Duckworth’s Chase absolutely ADORES Elisabeth (she is his favorite Gymboree teacher) and he lit up when he saw her and couldn’t wait to show her his “cahs” and race them all over the house. When everyone was up again, we hung out at home, snacked on smoothies and watched some football until our wonderful babysitter Elisabeth arrived to watch Chase for the evening. Once I was done, we all headed off to Discovery Place Kids where we met up with my friends Carrie and Alexis and their families and spent the rest of the morning watching the little ones cause a ruckus and have a blast.īy the time we made it home, Chase was in need of a nap and the guys decided that sounded like a great idea, too! After lunch, while everyone took an afternoon rest, I showered, worked on blog stuff and caught up on my small group Bible study for Monday night. The baked oatmeal did a decent job of fueling me through my own workout after the guys returned. On Saturday morning, we started our day the sweaty way! Ryan and his dad took off for a father/son workout at the gym first thing in the morning while I got Chase dressed and ready for the day and whipped up a batch of peanut butter baked steel cut oatmeal for everyone for breakfast. Greg flew in town from Bradenton, Florida late Thursday morning and ever since he arrived we’ve filled our time with lots of good food, outside playtime at the park (it was in the 70s on Friday!), exploration and relaxation. ![]() This weekend was a celebratory one for the Fagan family! We had a very special 70th birthday to celebrate on Sunday and spent the weekend trying our best to make Ryan’s dad feel extra loved and special. ![]()
