Date Night

So, Saturday evening, Larry and I were able to go

on a much needed date.

Dates become rare when you have 5 kids

and live far from family.

Thank goodness for a wonderful

young woman who lives near by.

We started our date out with a movie that 

Larry has been dying to see.

I am not a trek fan, but I can say this movie

was actually enjoyable. 

And it actually had a humorous start.

When Larry and I went to the theater to purchase

our tickets, we noticed a balding, middle aged man

wearing a star trek uniform in the lobby.  At first we thought he was just

a theater worker wearing their uniform for the weekend.

When we noticed the ticket booth kids

not wearing the same snazzy outfit and giggling, we realized a serious trek 

fan was in our midst. 

This man was dressed to the hilt and had a

presentation board set up along

with life size cutouts of

Kirk and Spok. Can we say Coo coo?

I so wish I had a camera phone.

After the movie, Larry & I drove around looking for a

restaurant with little to no wait.

Not a bad thing unless it is saturday night

at 6 and a prom night to boot.

We decided to go to Fuddruckers, 

a known favorite when we came across Tripp's.

I am so glad we stopped!

We were sitted immediately and the

manager was actually making rounds greeting

his patrons.  Very welcoming atmosphere

and it passed my no TVs test.

Larry and I were able to have a wonderful

dinner with no distractions.

Can I just say, the food was absolutely fabulous!

I don't usually eat steaks, but opted for the filet mignon

and lobster tail.  It was delicious and this

restaurant has become a new favorite.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as well.
