Date night 


We broke the law. 14 is the legal babysitting age here, and we're guilty of leaving Kylie in charge a time or two while we ran a few errands.  It's a hard habit to break, and I miss the freedom of regular date nights. But we figured we better be Kosher and follow the rules while we went and painted the town red.  We dropped the kids off at our friend's house for our very first official date night. Totally picture worthy, even if it was pouring rain and the kids were screaming in the car. That's how much Jason loves me. We grabbed dinner at a place with an eclectic mix of high end menus, mediocre food and Counting Crows music videos in the background.  But the most noteworthy item of business is that I ordered fish. And ate it. We drove around and ended up at the beach, which if you know me by now, all journeys lead to the beach.  We made our way through a pitch black muddy trail and stared at the ocean for all of 2 seconds before we decided there was a good chance the wind was going to blow us out to sea. We drove up into the port hills looking for the best view (in other words, the best place to make out). And found the cutest cafe overlooking the city lights and immediately planned our next date night.  Because as nice as family time is, I forgot just how nice alone time and a quiet car is too.

I'm shocked you ordered fish! You must really like it to order all on your very own...I really need your fish eating wisdom right now, oh boy do I.

Glad you got out and ordered FISH!!! Always better when you don't have to cook it yourself and smell it in your house for days!
