A5 for 18

We celebrated Tanner's 18th birthday a day early given that Marshall was flying out to Ohio on the 12th. Tanner and Marshall headed to join me downtown (I was downtown for a coworking day). We met at Union Station and walked around to check out the decorations before our 7:15 reservation at A5 (a steakhouse recommended by my coworkers). We checked out the Oxford Hotel where we had our reception and also walked through the Cruise Room. 

We enjoyed a lovely meal together and talked about a variety of topics including life at college, what you bring to college, etc. Tanner came home and studied for his math quiz before he and a friend (who also turned 18 on 12/12), headed to buy scratch off tickets at midnight. He "won" $4 (but lost $6). He was home by 1:00 and said he had a really fun time. I told him he could only go if he took a picture - winning! His smile says it all. ❤️

Birthday dessert!
