A great dinner at Legal Seafoods Harborside in Boston last night caused me to think about this thread.
Late yesterday afternoon, we went to the Boat Show, which was $15/person and that I think is kind of crazy. Then we went to dinner, which was awesome, but (for us) relatively expensive. However, it was fun, fun, fun.
As we walked back to the car I said to my husband, "That was a big bill, huh?" His answer, "Yup. That's why we don't do it that often, and when we do, we make it count!"
I agree that it's cheaper to drink a beer at home than it is to drink it at Garwoods. It's nothing but awesome to watch the sunset from our dock with a cocktail in hand. Every once in a while, though, it's nice to mix things up and go out on a date.
I can understand not wanting to spend 5+ dollars for a beer. Having a beer at Garwoods isn't just having a beer. It's about the experience.

Just not worth it to pay that kind of money.
What does everyone else think?

Where on the lake could you have that experience for less money?
