Thanks to a friend who offered to watch Ava for the evening, Ryan and I had our first date in china! Thank goodness we reserved our driver for the occasion (we normally don't have him in the evenings) as it was pouring outside! We would have been drenched by the time we found a cab! We were amazed at how quickly the roads floaded. We are not sure if it is the infrastructure of the roads/plumbing or if all of the construction (there seems to be constant road construction - guess some things are the same) is blocking the drains. Either way, we passed people standing in the streets and the water was 1/2 way up their shin! And as other cars passed us, we felt like we were in a car wash as the water just engulfed the car! Of course some roads were much worse than others, but amazingly we still saw a few mopeds and bicycles out on the roads! They just throw on a rain poncho and go on their way!
We ended up checking out a steak restaurant that had been recommended to us and it was delicious! We both ordered the local snow dragon Kobe Filet mignon which was incredible! Usually we go to Webster's for our anniversary and this was just as good, although we did miss their mouthwatering mashed potatoes... we finally bought a potato masher at Ikea this weekend so we hope to make some of our own mashed potatos this week!
To celebrate at home we found our favorite champagne and a coworker made us a cheesecake! Of course we didn't have the champagne glasses or cake knife from our wedding (I usually get all of that out for our anniversary) or our wedding video to watch, but we looked at pictures and remembered our magical day! I'm not going to lie, I missed not being able to wear my wedding gown while eating cake and drinking champagne! Lol. Maybe I'll have to wear it when we are home for Christmas :)
