I have been wanting to try this beautiful restaurant, Cielo, for a while now. It's not close, but Michael said it sounded good so we went for Valentine's Day. I really wanted to sit outside to enjoy the views, but they didn't offer outside seating that night. I was pretty disappointed, but it's just as well because it was pretty cold. They had the door open and I was cold so it would have been much worse outside. Anyway, because it had just rained and apparently because there was a wedding, they gave us a table right by the window so that was nice. The only problem was it was like when you're dining in New York City and they try to pack so many people in so you're about two feet from the table next to you. The view was absolutely gorgeous. The food was really good. We got brussels sprouts as an appetizer which isn't my favorite and Michael didn't even seem to like it that much because it was pretty crunchy. I got the seabass and mashed potatoes and carrots and it was delicious. Michael got jumbo shrimp and grits and he liked it. Their bread was really good, too. It was a nice experience and it was worth the drive. I loved just driving through Fountain Hills because the houses up next to the mountain were absolutely gorgeous. It was really fun. They tried to talk us into dessert but none of them sounded good to me and I decided we should try an ice cream place that's been on my list of dessert places to try called Scoop and Joy. Michael was game and it wasn't too far out of the way so we went. It was just OK. I liked my salted caramel truffle but otherwise the ice cream is better at Handel’s. We came home and relaxed for a bit and then we watched three episodes of Cobra Kai with Daniel. They were really good! We only have one left so we'll have to watch that another day. Overall, it was a wonderful day with my sweetheart!
