A Dark Jungle Lunch!

On Saturday, Christopher chose where we would go for lunch. He chose Rainforest Cafe, so we drove over the Westfarms in West Hartford for lunch. We were seated within 5 minutes and sat down to our table with a view of the elephants. We ordered our drinks and then suddenly it was dark! The power went out!! They informed us that the whole left side of the mall was out and they hoped it would be back on shortly. They gave us water and we sat there for a few minutes and the power came back on. We got our drinks and ordered our food and the power went out again! We figured our food would be coming shortly so we remained in the restaurant waiting, and waiting...it took awhile, but our food came out--in the dark! The kids thought that was cool. Shaun and I thought it was kind of nice and we got talking about the restuarants where you actually dine in the dark, in cities like London, Paris, and Berlin and even at Opaque in California. I think it would be a rather interesting experience! However, once our food was served, the power came back and we were able to eat our lunch with no more interruptions.
