Date Night

I do not wish to be remiss in keeping this as a sort of journal of things that happen, so on Saturday night, the queen and I had a date night. We do not take many of these because we are rather selfish of our time with the princesses but my in-laws offered to keep them overnight so we decided to accept their offer and enjoy the evening. We started with a long talk about life and things of that nature which is something we do not often get to do with the princesses around. We moved on from there to dinner at Olive Garden, which holds some significance for us as we had some of our earliest dates there. We moved on to some therapeutic shopping time for the queen, which is considerably different without the children as she can roam and explore more freely without the extra "help." This and a couple of frappuccinos from the Starbucks conveniently located inside Target moved the evening along nicely.

From there, we attempted to go bowling, but they were having their glow bowl where you pay for the three hours or not at all. As we only wanted a game or two, we left, grabbed a movie and went home. I let the queen pick and she chose Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which, despite the problems with the bluray, was a pretty decent movie. Overall, it was a very good evening, and I do look forward to many more years and many more dates with her.
