Our fourth anniversary ended up being a great night!
Don was sent home by 2:30 in the afternoon - and those of you that know Brink's, know that this alone is shocking! He showed up at the door with two dozen pink roses in his Brink's uniform. I thought he was just stopping for a brief moment to surprise me with flowers and then off he goes to finish the rest of his afternoon jobs, but he was DONE!
He was excited about coming home early so he was able to squeeze in a nap before going out to eat.
We ended going to The Melting Pot. It is an all fondue restaurant. It took two hours to enjoy our four course fondue feast.
We started with a cheese fondue that we dipped three different types of bread, vegetables, and granny smith apples (strange, but yummy!)
Next, we were brought out our salads.
Then onto our entree. We could choose from two different broths that we would cook our meat in. We then were brought out our plate of meat. We had shrimp, tuna, fillet minion (spelling?), teriyaki steak, curry chicken, and potstickers. It only took 1 - 2 minutes to cook the meat in the broth and it was a lot of fun!
Finally, we gorged ourselves on the dessert fondue. We chose a smore chocolate to dip our cheesecake, poundcake, brownies, strawberries, pineapples, and bananas. This, of course, was my favorite!
We basically held our bellies all the way home moaning from the wonderful meal we had just had. Don even went to confess that this was the best meal he had ever had. I would have to agree! It was fantastic and we would highly recommend it to anyone!

That was great that Don was able to get off early. The Melting Pot is a great place to go for a special occasion. Glad you had such a wonderful time!
I have never heard of The Melting Pot before, but your recommendation makes me wanting to try it out for a special date. How wonderful that Don could get off early -- from Dan's days at Brinks, I would've never expected him home to stay that early in the afternoon either. Glad it was a special evening.
Emily beat me! I'm glad you had a great time. Your roses are beautiful. Are they Robert Redford roses?
YUM! Friends from Greenville took me there--and I thought the same about those Granny Smith apples...who would of thunk it?! But they were SO good! So glad you had a good time!
What beeeeautiful roses! They're my favorite flower. Great job Don!
