After I spent my day attending a wonderful workshop, Oliver decided some spoiling was in order. He made reservations at a local steakhouse and found the times for movies at the drive-in.

Dinner was at "Gold Rush Steakhous" and let me say ... wow! This place is packed with gaudy, wonderful 1950's goodness! Everything is PINK! (Yes Kecia, you read that right!) Seats, big flowers on the ceiling, table cloths, fuzzy wallpaper.... its ALL pink. As we're sitting down at our cozy table for two I hear... a band?! Behind me was a whole dance floor with a 7 piece orchestra playing ballroom dance music! This picture was taken between sets, as the floor was TOO packed with cute gray haired couples during each song :) The grounds themselves are like "Dirt Dancing" crossed with any classy 50's film you can imagine... I can't stop smiling!

We were cruisin' around town in the truck today and I came upon this ... wow! This is one of a large pack the Isaac gave us before we moved to Cali :) Obviously no good anymore, but a fun find none-the-less!

Ahhh.... the definition of ugly, right there folks! Avocado and gold swirled marble tiles. Can you guess what era the main floor was built in? Late 60s goodness at its best... I especially like the spiderman stickers on the top left corner.

BTW, ignore my negihbors back in the right corner ;)

This room is slowly transforming into a nice dining room :) Dan has almost all the paneling off the walls, baseboards are coming off.... soon it will be a brand new look! ... now if only I could figure out what to do with the avocado and gold fireplace. More on that later.
