Last night was my first time going to a restaurant since March. Prior to this whole pandemic thing I would go out to a restaurant 2 to 4 times a week....I know, it was a lot! So I had always thought as soon as restaurants open back up I would be the first person inside. Not so much. I totally support wearing masks but wasn't feeling like going to a restaurant if it meant wearing a mask. It just made me feel strange and I have been more comfortable just staying home and ordering in. But last night I finally did it. I met up with a girlfriend I haven't seen basically all year and we went to an early dinner in Encinitas. It was this cute little spot, got there early and picked a little table all alone in the corner of the patio. Took my mask off after I sat down and was a little taken back the first time I talked to the server and they were wearing a mask, but I got use to it. Took me a while to figure out that the menu was the QR code in the middle of the table. Really enjoyed feeling a bit "normal" again and of course having a restaurant style cocktail!!!!
