Taking a Baby to a Nice Restaurant

We only have two restaurant options at this hotel: a pub and a nice resturant. We planned to have dinner with a colleague of Jonathan's, so we opted for the nice restaurant.

We arrived to find only one table was occupied by people. I was relieved, because Christian was a wee bit cranky tonight. The hostess sat us in a "quiet corner," but I knew that wasn't enough distance between us an the other restaurant patrons. I suggested she could move us to another part of the rather large restuarant, but she told me she had to seat us in that section.

Long-story-short, we decided not to interrupt the people already eating dinner, and opted to eat in the pub. I'm sure the hostess was relieved.

The pub had more people and was a bit louder, so we figured we'd be okay. But in addition to Jonathan's colleague joining us, her boss and an acquaintance of her boss also joined us. It quickly became apparent to us that Christian would be a distraction for one and all.

The waitress was very kind and boxed up our meals and we returned to the room.

Have you seen those commercials on TV that say, "Having a baby changes everything"?

Its true. :)
