The Citadel and Fancy Food

On Thursday, Mom and Tony went to play a round of golf, so Josh and I took the kids around downtown looking for cool stuff to do.  We landed at the Citadel, which turned out to be perfect and was a nice setting to walk around (even if we look out of place!).





The boys walking around.

Pumped about whatever that thing is.










We then headed over to a park we saw on our way in that was right on the water...the views were great and Dave and Ike had a blast. 





Right before sending Ike down the slide.









Josh and I had really wanted to try out Slightly North of Broad, so we decided to give it a shot with the kids.  Dave and Ike both did really well and it was super delicious.  Josh finally tried beef carpaccio and it was fantastic.   And Dave kept telling me that my pork was "so beasty!".  We are really proud that we are raising him (and hopefully Ike) to be a foodie  :)

That evening, we met back up with Mom and Tony, along with Denny and Laura, to go to the newly established Taste of the Market.  It is a place where restaurants get together once a month to offer tastings of their menu and give discounts.  Since it was the first one, there weren't a ton of vendors yet, but the restaurants there were great (best chicken and waffles ever) and we had a blast.

Ike was getting a little sleepy by the end.













For our last great meal, Tony, Josh and I went to HUSK.  We managed to get in without a reservation (the place was pretty packed) and the food was (again) delicious.  I may not be a great critic (you know, what with living in Wabash where we don't get much gourmet food), but all the places we ate at were sooo yummy.  Favorite dish at HUSK:  pimento cheese appetizer.  I will be dreaming about that for some time.

This was me trying to take artsy photographs of their sign/pink building across the street.
