Date Night...

Last night was 'Date Night'. We had a sitter for 3 hours, Free.
We remembered Very last minute about this... and were not prepared.
We could not see "Narnia" because it's 2:20 minutes long, and we would have to consider Travel, Lines... and Parking/Walking. We would go over the 3 hours, for sure. So,... because we could not go to the Movies, like we Really Wanted... we were Stumped.

'Its Weird. Because we have children, and we have adapted to doing Everything with our children, we don't know what to do Alone.
I asked Ej is we were Weird,... haha... he just said we have adapted to Not having a reliable babysitter for over a year. I guess i will agree with that, for now. haha'

So ... we dropped them off @ the 'sitter' and headed out. Of course, we had a ton of ideas, and NO plan. (this is typical us) So we decided to Drive around, and look around and 'what we wanted to do'... haha... no joke. Lets just say this... we drove around so long that around 7:45 pm we Finally decided to go to a Japanese Steakhouse and have some sushi and a Teppanyaki dinner. We wanted to stay local, so we did not go to our Favorite Teppanyaki Grill http://otanigrill.com/ Otani's.
We decided to go to a Smaller, More local one. It was NOT 'up to par' IMO... but we ate, and it was ok... we got to talk, and that was nice. The Funny thing is... i said to Ej "Gosh, i miss the kids"... he agreed. Otani's is Olivia & Evan's Favorite Place to eat. Olivia is a sucker for Sushi... she loves it, and can eat Many Roll's... Loves it.
We ordered a "Green Dragon Roll" last night, and it was Tempura Shrimp rolled in Avocado... w/ a few other things. It was good... As close to 'a Taste of Japan' w/ the sauce they used... But,... one thing is for sure, we cant wait to eat 'real' sushi again!

Ok, so when we were done eating, it was time to drive and get the kids, haha. We did pick them up 30 minutes early... but that's ok.
It was a Fun Night, i only wish we had a plan, or 30 more minutes... making it 3 hours and 30 minutes. I really wanna see Narnia!! haha

What you said here is so true!!!..my sentiments excatly...: )

"'Its Weird. Because we have children, and we have adapted to doing Everything with our children, we don't know what to do Alone."

I agree, agree, agree.: ) I don't think the hubby and I would know what to do without our kids either. We'd probably be driving around aimlessly until the time ran out! Ha ha ha : )
