I was finally feeling a tad better yesterday, so we went out for dinner last night – actually an early dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We left just before sunset. We didn’t want to leave in the dark. This was the first time that the girls have been on their own in the dark. Of course we left some soft lights on and music playing.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We were going to a favourite restaurant that is next to the Linq attraction. That is the Venetian behind the wheel.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Our destination, Battista’s Italian Restaurant aka The Hole in the Wall. A very famous place in Vegas. When we arrived just before our 5PM reservation there were about 100 people milling about to get inside. Not everyone had reservations.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A set menu that includes all the wine ( red or wine ) that you can drink, soup or salad, your main and a delicious cappuccino later.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Colin had the fettuccini Alfredo.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I had the cheese manicotti. Everything was delicious. Especially the garlic bread.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We had set up the nanny cam so we could keep an eye on the girls.<\/p><\/div>\n

Battista’s has been around since 1970. Click here<\/a> to see more about it. It has a great atmosphere, lots of Tiffany lights and thousands and thousands of signed photos from actors, singers and the rich and the famous. The restaurant it set up in small intimate rooms, not too many tables in each section. Very relaxing and the food is always delicious.<\/p>\n

You all know who this is.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

We could have stayed later but about the two hour mark the girls started to cry off and on. So we went home. They had been on their own for 2 hours and 50 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I laid down for just a ten minute nap when Carlie jumped up on me. They really had missed us and she did not want me to go anywhere.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Then Ciela sat on my shoulder and put her face directly over mine. They did not want me to even move. So with two chocolates sitting on me I was trapped. We eventually all went to bed, of course together. But that is not a habit.<\/p><\/div>\n

We have not been to Battista’s since early November 2019, just before the pandemic hit. Actually this is only the fourth time that we have been to a restaurant since Covid. The first time was last March when friends puppy sat while we went to a late lunch on the Isla. Then twice this summer when friends visited and now yesterday. We sure don’t get out much but that has been by choice.<\/p>\n
