Adventures In Date Night With Hubby!

Last Saturday after Mass my hubby and I bought pizza for the kids and dropped them home.

Hubby informed me he was taking me out for a date night....just the two of us!

Yippee no cooking this night!

There is a movie (that was pretty good by the way) called Date Night
(I will post the trailer at the end of my post).......our date night was not as adventurous as in the movie but fun none the less!

Our date was full of laughs, laughs and more laughs!
SSSOOOO good for the soul!

 Hubby and I have decided we would step out of our norm when going on dates from now on.
The restaurants we pick and places we go will be new and different.
 A hit or miss if you will.......but always an adventure......never dull.
The new experiences gives us something to talk about besides the usual.


This date night we went to a Chinese Buffet advertising all you can eat Crap Crab and Lobster.
The lobster smelled awful......like a musty dishrag from the bottom of my kitchen sink. It was coated in a sticky slippery glaze making it impossible to bust the shell off. Not that I was really going to eat it after the nauseating smell it gave off. Hubby and I laughed and laughed as we took turns trying to get the shell off.  It was a great time!

There was lots of other stuff on the buffet that was pretty good.....as good a mass produced Chinese food can be that has been sitting in a steam table for hours! Shrimp fixed 5 ways, the dim sum and Lotus Paste steamed rolls were a few of my favorite things there.
Hubby and I reminisced.....remembering our favorite movies that had Chinese restaurant scenes or served up the ethnic delight.  IE Mine Your and Ours with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball and
 Working Girl with Harrison Ford and Melanie Griffith......dim sum anyone?

I think there was a movie with George Burns that had a girl in a Chinese restaurant talking to God?
I'm not sure if its OH GOD but now I want to get a copy and watch to see? When searching for the trailer for the really old movie I saw as a child....I had forgotten it had John Denver in it as one of the main characters.

 As I watched people approach the buffet, most of the folks all took the tongs and shuffled through the tray of chopped shell on lobster........puzzled they took nothing. Some mostly Asians took piles of the stuff!   Doesn't these cockroaches this lobster look appetizing?
The really hard shell is still on.......hummm!

The decorations were truly lovey so very ornate.......etched glass,murals and gold ceilings with crystal light fixtures! Very pretty!

After navigating the buffet......traveling up and down the isles looking for main courses that were to our liking .......it was on to the deserts..... sigh*****Yes, since there were 2 things at the buffet for the taking I can say DESSERTS!

They were both terrible!

But guess what?

I would do it all over again.....yep you heard right!

I would not go back there to eat, but our night was fun, terrific, hilarious!

I totally had a wonderful time with my hubby....it felt like a good first date.

(minus all the awkwardness of what would come after the date ****wink* wink!**)

We talked about all sorts of stuff..... not about the kids or what repairs the house needs!

On our night out we got to know each other better........in a way we had forgotten in the business that comes with the day to day raising 6 kiddos!

Going someplace new and different was refreshing.

It gave us a chance to have something other than the day to day stuff to talk about!

We laughed, giggled (ok only I giggled) and people watched in a good way!

So here's to many more date night adventures!
 
For our next date night I want to drag   whisk my hubby off to a quaint little Indian restaurant!
He seems to think Indian food is ALL curry!!! Not true!!!! I really think he will be pleasantly surprised!

How are your married date nights?

If you want leave me a comment telling me about a fun or funny date you have been on with your hubby I love to hear from you!

Seen any good movies lately?

 Had any interesting food?

Cheers,
Georgiann

An Afternoon Out....Just Hubby and I

Martinis and Bloody Marys

Meat Balls in marinara sauce topped with cheese!

Mini pannini sandwiches to share. So romantic!

Sunday hubby and I decided we would go have drinks and appetizers then head to a movie.

It seems we have a boat load of gift cards needing to get used.

We had gift cards for BOTH the restaurant and the movie!!!!!

Hubby and I had been talking about doing to a movie since Christmas!!!!

There had just been a lot going on here in our home the past few months.

Miscarriage,sports and illness to list a few.

We decided it was important to carve out the time for each other.....our marriage needed it!

Time with NO kiddos....just him and I!

In the morning we took most of our kiddos out to the cemetery to bring flowers to Christians grave.

Then to a park with our dog Jasper. I will post pictures of all that in a few days!

We could not find the enclosed dog park we were hoping to take Jasper to, so we settled for the playground/duck pond for the kids to play for a few moments.

Time was of the essence as we needed to go pick up 2 of our kiddos from various places...... then drop them home so Hubby and I could start our date!!!

The movie we went to see was The Lincoln Lawyer, it was really good!

Here is the official trailer!

       Did I mention I brought home a few leftovers?
     Well just a small box of mini sandwiches....

Well I got to go.....its tea time!

Peace and Love,

Georgiann
