I love celebrating special occasions with a meal in a restaurant. It's so lovely to be able to go out to eat and not to have to plan out the meal, and not to have to clean the plates afterwards! I like to get the whole family together and see everyone interacting with each other and enjoying a meal. We have some great restaurants in my area but I am always looking for new places to try. This blog has a collection of interesting articles about family dining as well as some links to my favourite local eating places.
