Vanessa's 40th Birthday Celebration

Yesterday we celebrated Vanessa's 40th birthday by going out for dinner to Arome Restaurant on Lac Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec, about 30 minutes drive from here.  John, Molly (Craig's father and partner), Kim (Craig's sister), Shirley and Mary (Craig's mother and grandmother) as well as Jack and Bethany all joined us for the occasion.

The food was superb (I had lobster with chicken) and the location, together with the long twilight here (there is light in the sky until nearly ten at night), made for a very enjoyable evening. The night was rounded of with the cutting of the birthday cake (lemon mousse) back home.
