Hi DIG...I'm not sure where in Georgia that you live, however, if you live in the Atlanta area, this is a great, really fun and out of the ordinary place...Click~~~> AGATHA'S It's a murder mystery dinner theater...FUN...We did one of these here in Michigan when we got engaged...very neat!

Mrs. W

P.S. If you do live in the Atlanta area and love great steak, there is NO better place than Hal's on Old Ivey in Buckhead...Simply to Die For!

That is a really good idea Mrs. W we actully stay in the ATL area. A friend of mine had her rehersal dinner at a mystery dinner theater and we loved it. I will definitely check it out.

We can't go out until sunday so I will let you know how it goes then. In the mean time if have something we can do on that night while in for the evening that would be great. Thank you for the really great idea Mrs. W I love a change of pace.

Mrs. W you give great ideas. Hal's is a creole restaurant. I am from LA and I have the hardest time finding good creole/cajun restaurants. Now I don't know which on to decide on. Phooy <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

LOL DIG...If it's a dining experience that you want, choose HAL's...HANDS DOWN...OMG, the food is FABULOUS...I always get the filet mignon with au poivre sauce on the side, creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes...SOOOOOOOO DELISH!!! Here's the link in case you hadn't found it yet~~~> HAL'S Oh and the atmosphere is very chic and romantic...A great choice!

Thank you so much I am a big fan of all things seafood. Having grown up in Louisiana it's all I know and now it's crawfish season.

Ok tell me how this sounds. We go to Dave & Busters to have fun and the get dinner at Hals. I am kind of torn on the D&B because I have been hearing rave reviews on 300 and I want to see that Perfect Stranger, Vacancy and The Reaping also look very good. So many choices so little time. What's a girl to do?

Hmmm, well I've never been a big D&B fan, but I suppose that depends on what you like...I'm not big on casinos either though, so who knows...lol...

What I do think would be incredibly fun is this~~~> Atlanta Segway Tours I would probably choose the haunted one...hehehe...I'm not sure how the logistics would work as far as the length of the tour/dinner time/dinner apparel goes, but I'll bet you could get creative and figure it out...If not for this time, then perhaps for another outing...It just seems like it would be a really cool adventure...I've always wanted to ride one of those Segway gadgets...lol! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Man Mrs W. That looks like fun too. I can't wait until the summer. I have my own bonifided ATL tour guide who. You know all the great stuff to do here. We are going to the aquarium sat. Have you all done that if so what is it like? I am sure the kids will love it. I never heard of a segway until just now but it looks like fun and the ghost tou would be cool I love scary stories.

The aquarium sounds AWESOME...My parents have taken our DD7 there when she was visiting them...I've yet to go...Nope, haven't done the Segway Tour yet either...I've been doing "hard time" up here in Michigan for the last almost 11 YEARS!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Someday soon we will be moving back to Atlanta...I can't wait!!!

We are off to dinner for Mr. W's Bday now...Cya Later Gator! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I know how you feel Mrs. W. We were living in Orlando before we moved here and we couldn't do much of anything because we didn't have anybody to watch the kids now that we do I plan on taking advantage. I will let you know about the aquarium too. I have been dying to go. I know the kids will love it as much as I will.

Enjoy your dinner. Isn't nice that you get a gift on your H's b-day too. You get to get waited on tonight and you don't have to do dishes. To bad we only get one b-day a year.

After while Crocodile.

EPH525 well now you know what to do if you have a free minute from your conference. Ask Mrs. W she knows all the best things to do. I hope you have a nice safe trip .Do you like wine? If so I highly recommend The Grape it is wondeful. I hate wine until I went there.

What kind of conference are you attending? Hope you have fun.

DIG - The Aquarium is wonderful, but is usually crowded so it may not be the best choice for a romantic anniversary date. Mrs. W is right-on with Hals for dinner though! What if you took a stroll through the Botanical Gardens before dinner?
