Since Audrey's arrival got moved up to Thursday Mar 25th, we lost our what we had planned to be our "last weekend of childlessness". So we decided to go out for one last evening and enjoy some fine dining - one of the things we love to do most together. We went to the Terranea resort up in Palos Verdes, and dined at mar'sel. It was a lovely evening and a wonderful dinner. But more importantly, it was a chance for us to enjoy each other's company and look forward to the coming change in our lives!
