A night out with friends

Last night, we had plans for dinner and a comedy show with some friends. Jacob and I left a little early to walk around Robertson Quay since we've never been before and it was beautiful!
Gotta share some information for those interested:
Robertson Quay is considered to be a bit more relaxed than Clark Quay, offering yet another area packed with restaurants and entertainment. The crowds are usually not as large as Clark and Boat Quay, making it a more tranquil setting for a night out. According to Uniquely Singapore, the area used to be the site for merchants’ offices, warehouses and jetties, where they would facilitate the loading and unloading of goods.

The picture below was at the center of the Quay. There was a Wine & Jazz festival going on, so it was crowded with a lot going on. I loved this picture with the Robertson Walk bridge in the background.
We took a walk along the water front...
Then grabbed a drink while waiting for dinner time.
The choice of restaurant was Boomerangs and it was pretty good, but the company was much better!! I tend to struggle with being social by nature, but this group of people make me feel very comfortable and it was an enjoyable evening.

So here's all the couples. This is Gillian and Jamey (caught him with his eyes closed though!)...
Blake and Camille...
Jennifer and Toby...
Jennifer and Justin...
The whole group!
Had to get a picture of Jenn's choice of meal...lobster, the restaurant's special of the day!Here's the up close picture of Singapore's version of "lazy man's lobster." Not even close to the lobster we're used to back in New England!!
After dinner, it was off to the show!
Here we are, waiting for the show to begin!
Since we were in the front row, everyone was prepared for the possibility of becoming a target. It ended up being Camille that got snatched out from the audience to get up on stage and be picked on! All in good fun and brought lots of laughs!!
After the show, we stopped to have a night cap and dessert. It was a great evening with wonderful company, lots of laughs, and good conversation. I'm looking forward to more "adult" nights out without the kids :-) Hey, we need breaks now and then!!
