Movin' On!

The plan was to go from Katie Down's to the Swiss. Luckily, my Scout Mac, called to let us know that the Swiss was closed while we were in route. U Turn to the Parkway. They were also closed for their staff holiday party. I would just like to point out that I was hoping Katie would have been born on December 16th, but she insisted on waiting til 4:40 am on the 17th. I knew way back then that planning a 21 st birthday extravaganza on a Saturday would have been easier than on a Sunday. Would she listen!?! I did my best.

After passing a few more bars (all closed) and Winston suggesting that we should just head to Seattle. Luckily Meconi's was open. I had never been into Meconi's but I must admit I really like it. And our party had grown to about 15 people by then so we made Meconi's very quiet night. Katie liked Meconi's too as you can see.



Next was dinner at the Matador. They were having a quiet night too until we arrived and moved tables to accomodate our now group of 21 for the 21 year old. The Matador is a great place to eat and celebrate in Tacoma.



I figured that after dinner the group (especially those who had to go to work on Monday) would be ready to head home. Most of the group did bid us adeiu and then the die hards kept on going. Time for a little table dancing at the Blue Olive girls???



Blue Olive closed early and we moved on to Katie's new favorite Tacoma stop, Doyle's. 10:30 Sunday night and the place was packed. It was St. Practice Day. Since March 17th is St. Patty's Day, Doyle's uses every other 17th to practice for the big holiday with live Irish Music and Irish beverages all the way around.



We met some great people all along this adventure. We met these new friends at Blue Olive and they followed us to Doyle's. He just turned 21 this summer so he and Katie were comparing notes on the proper way to drink.
