#95 Splurge on a Nice Dinner
Last month Ken and I went to Trio's in downtown South Bend. It's a jazz bar that we go to often for work, but at night it gets a bit fancier. I wore my Australian dress and Ken wore a blazer. We got beer/wine, brie, scallops, and steak. It was a nice night out but once the check came, we remembered why we prefer to eat in!
