The Nookies and Vols do dinner.

The peep meet went off without a hitch! Nookie called me around 5pm on Saturday and we made plans to meet around 6:30pm for dinner.

I met Nookie and Mr. Nookie at a local Italian restaurant. The Nookies had decided it was very important to have pasta for the pre-marathon meal. There was a 45-minute wait and we decided to leave and go looking else where for our dinner. We moved on down the street a little ways to another Italian place and there was an hour wait there. We then settled in across the street at Cozymel’s. The Nookies hadn’t eaten there and there was hardly a wait so we settled in.

I ordered a grilled chicken breast with baked potato and grilled veggies. Mr. Nookie ordered a shrimp pasta dish with Nookie ordering a chicken pasta dish. Both dishes looked deeelish and I think everyone was pleased.

We sat and talked about you all for a little while and then Mr. Nookie decided it was time to go because they had an early morning on the horizon. I left the Nookies and headed home but not before our server snapped a couple of pics. I look like a beached whale but I guess we will have to wait for Nookie to post.

BTW: there have been no news stories of a lost female wondering the streets of Knoxville after the marathon so I am almost certain Nookie is safe!
