6 Years and Counting

Every anniversary we say that we are going to get away and do something really fun, but then it comes down to it and we just never plan in advance or don't really have the money or babysitters for that matter, so we usually just end up going out to dinner. It is always really nice and we spoil ourselves while we are at it. This year we decided to try some place new. There is a Buck Owens museum/restaurant here in Bakersfield called The Crystal Palace. We had heard it was fun, but had never been. Pretty much it looks like this old southern hotel/saloon. There is memorabilia that you can look at and then the tables surround a stage and dance floor. There is also a balcony level. I wish I would've been able to get some good pictures, but honestly it was pretty dark inside and we were having too much fun to take pictures. So the food was great, but the best part was the live band. Every night they have a new artist and sometimes they have some pretty "big" acts. It is actually where Garth Brookes proposed to his current wife Trisha Yearwood. Anyway, so you have the band you can listen too as well as dance too. We could tell there were a few "regulars" because they knew every dance step and line dance. We haven't been country dancing since we were dating and so we had such a great time. We were there for 3 hours just eating, dancing and being entertained. It was such a great anniversary date, and I can't wait to go back again! This picture is pretty funny because it was so dark in the restaurant that when the flash on my camera went off it pretty much blinded us. Poor Mike. Ha Ha
