The Post House Setting

At the corner of rout 57 and 585 is a great little diner. Jack and I stopped on our way into Orrville. One  plate of beef noodles over mashers, and a tuna melt later, we hit the road again.

Romantic Birthday Dinner Setting

Jack and I have a deal: You don't tell them it's my birthday 

and it won't be your birthday every time we go out for the rest of the year. 

End of embarrassingly bad birthday serenades. Thank you, babe.

First Adoption Request Setting

This is Michael, an awesome server at Bel Lago who took excellent care of us

 on our most recent adventure there. It was the first time Jack and I had dinner there. 

It was a pleasantly quiet night with delicious food, exquisite cocktails

 and excellent service. Michael was curious about the diamond shoot 

and even offered to adopt My Best Friend. If you get to Bel Lago in Westerville, 

tell him Jack and Juli sent you!
