1st Married couple Valentines day

We had a very special sea themed valentines. it was simply spectacular.

First we went to watch Song of the Sea. Beautiful animation, but a bit dark and the theme was a bit mature. Definitely not for kids.
Main plot focuses on a little girl named Saoirse, and her big brother Ben, and a Celtic legend of Selkies. Which is a kind of mermaid. SURPRIIIISE!

The Selkies are basically mermaids with seal suits. They take off the seal suits to lounge on land, and then slip the coats back on to return to the sea. If a human finds the coat, the selkie must stay with the human until she gets the coat back and then she can return to the sea. That's the back story. The actual plot revolves around a girl who discovers her she's a selkie, and ... from there you'll have to watch what happens. It's such a beautiful film. This is a new level of artistry.


Then we made our way to Leon's. we saw Pocahontas was JUST starting to play on their tv screens and we decided to stay and watch. the leon's sales rep actually extended an open invite to stay and watch. it was steven's first time watching to i had added commentary so he understood the basis of the songs, the plot, underlying themes, stuff like that. but then he fell asleep :|

Then we headed for dinner downtown and dined with the fishies. Standard 3 course meal, with white wine. There were a lot of couples that went. there was a little kids area and because it was just us "grown adults," i decided to go in and crawl though the tunnels and into the little playpens. steven joined me... and i guess i started SOMETHING because then ALL THE OLDER PEOPLE JOINED IN ON OUR SHENANIGANS! i allowed everyone to tap into their inner children. best moment of my life. Quite fun :)
