New Year's Eve 2000!
- Title
- New Year's Eve 2000!
- Description
- My late wife and I wanted to celebrate the year 2000 in style! We joined her sister and brother-in-law for an NYE dinner at Millennium. There were two seatings 8pm and 11pm. The 11pm was booked so we took the 8pm. We all gathered in the lobby and watched fireworks through the beautiful glass windows (I don't remember if it was before dinner or after, but grateful that there were TWO celebrations that night!), then went up to [or came down from?] the restaurant for dinner and a "spin" around downtown. My wife was in a wheelchair and I was very grateful that the restaurant and fireworks show were accessible. That was a new thing then. It was a wonderful experience and I'm sad that it is gone. It was something that my generation valued and I get that subsequent generations value something different. Happy memories!
- This was the advert that we responded to. It was a great evening!
