I knew just what I wanted to do. I wanted to go to the Melting Pot AND I wanted to bring the kids. Yes!! I wanted to celebrate the actual day we got married with both of the kids. I thought it would be nice to include them. I love the Melting Pot, but it is more like a special occasion kind of restaurant. Between the cost, distance (Reston is our closest location), the need to make reservations in advance, and the amount of time it takes to eat dinner, it is not something you go to on a whim.
The kids had never been before and I knew they would get a kick out of it. I was right! We all had a lot of fun eating fondue style. When it dawned on Sam that we were going to be given a huge pot of chocolate for her to dip things in for dessert, she looked at Jeff, gave him a huge hug and said, "I LOVE THIS PLACE! IT IS AMAZING!!"
At the end of the meal, Ian asked if waiters/waitresses get to eat there for free. I have a feeling Ian has his eyes on getting job at The Melting Pot. Both kids (almost at the same exact time) said they will be picking this place for their restaurant of choice when it comes time for their birthday dinner. Ha! That would be two visits within 1 week of each other at the end of May. We may need to come up with some kind of compromise. Who does that? Goes to The Melting Pot weekly? Heheheheeh.
Note to self for future visits: The kids didn't need their own kid's meals. They could've easily shared what Jeff and I ordered. Or, if they get a kid's meal, they can split one and Jeff and I could've easily split an entree. We had so much meat left over, that we cooked it all up and put it in a to-go box for a future meal at home.
A nice ending to the meal. Because we were celebrating our anniversary, the waitress gave us a box of chocolate-covered strawberries to take home. How sweet is that?
