Father's Day dinner at Mermaid Inn and Melody's first outing!

My mom and I took Eric out for Father's Day dinner which was also Melody's first real outing! I made reservations for 5:15 which I'm sure will become our normal dining out time from now on with two kids in tow. Despite having a complete meltdown at home just before we were going to leave, Tyler did really well at the restaurant. Thank goodness for the iPhone which kept him entertained the whole time. Almost every table had a family with a young child out for dinner. Eric and I started out with half dozen oysters to share and they were so delicious ! I haven't had oysters since before I was pregnant and it was exactly what I was craving. Both Mom and Eric had the trout Blue Plate Special and I had the Sunday special spaghetti with clams, mussels, calamari and scallops. Yum! And for their complimentary dessert, of course their chocolate pudding with whip cream! It was a lovely dinner for a really awesome dad- the best two little kids could have. Tyler and Melody are really lucky to have Eric as their papa!
