We got semi dressed up for the first time this week, gave Lionel's parents as many instructions as we could, and managed to sneak out on time - 6:30 pm - without major drama from the girls. It was a bit early for our standards, but we wanted to make sure we came back on time for bedtime.
It was 10 years ago that we got engaged right here in Hilton Head. So to celebrate, we decided to go out to the same restaurant where we went the night we got engaged: "Rendez vous cafe".
The neat thing about this place is that it is totally unexpected, totally uncool. Neither one of us remembers how we found out about it, because It is completely out of the way. One of those well-kept secrets where only the locals come each day.
We did not even need a reservation. When we got there, only a few tables were taken. As we walked in the average age in the place must have dropped by, no exaggeration, about 50 years! The waitress couldn't help but to ask how we found out about the place. I think she was as curious about us as we were about them.
We had a good laugh about the old fashion ambiance, had some wine, and enjoyed great food. Last, but not least, we ended with three authentic French, decadent desserts.
So it was a good date, and we promised ourselves that we'll be back again.
