Melissa's dad Sandy came to visit us and see baby Bryce. He drove out from Pittsburgh and arrived March 1st. We immediately went out to Old Chicago for a great meal. Friday Denise flew out and saw our house for the first time. I went skiing Saturday with Nathan and Shelby Fuerst as they were out here on vacation.
I came back just in time to get ready for dinner at the Boulder Flagstaff House in the foothills above Boulder. Melissa's dad took us and another couple out and it is probably the nicest restaurant I have ever eaten at. First of all they have complimentary valet parking and our Expedition was parked amongst the Mercedes and BMWs. We had to take Bryce along since he feeds so often but Sydney definitely stayed home with a baby sitter. Luckily Bryce behaved because it was not the place to take a crabby baby. I could pronounce most things on the menu and really didn't have a clue what my meal was going to look like. The menu was all al-la-cart of course and ran from the $250 caviar appetiser to the $108 Kobe beef meal. It wasn't all that bad because I had a seafood dish for $30 and Melissa had prime rib for $44. Every time they brought out a course it was 3 people setting the plates down all at once, and then they would come back and pick them up all at once. They would also bring out various things complements of the chef which were also good. Melissa and I joked that next time we're just going to split a salad and bank on the chef's compliments. I don't even want to know what the bill was considering we all had wine and most had salad and dessert. It's definitely a great place to eat and the views are awesome overlooking all of Boulder.
