Date Day

Today my parents came up to watch the boys for us so Michael and I could go have a date day. We did a little shopping and then headed to lunch at Famous Dave's. We've had the food before, but only carryout so this was our first time eating in. I love their ribs and their macaroni and cheese is the best. They had a wonderful lunch menu and it didn't end up costing any more than it would be to go to Red Robin, but the food was WAY better.

Michael got the lunch combo with ribs and beef brisket. All the lunch combos come with corn on the cob, one side (Michael got beans) and a corn bread muffin.

I got the ribs and roasted chicken and like I said before the best macaroni and cheese...EVER! It has corn and jalapenos in it....mmmmm!!!

After lunch we did a little more shopping at Old Navy and found new shirts for all the boys. Then we headed to the Seattle Children's Theater to see a play. No we weren't seeing a children's play we were seeing the second play we had tickets for at the Taproot Theater. Unfortunately the Taproot Theater was badly damaged during a fire just yesterday morning so they had to move the play to the Children's Theater. It totally amazes me that they were even able to get the play up and running at a different location in such a short time. There were a lot of great people that came together to make it happened. The play was fantastic of course and we are really looking forward to seeing more plays next year when the theater has been repaired.

Once the play was done I was wanting something sweet so we called my Dad to make sure they didn't have any plans and to see if they would mind watching the boys a little while longer. We figured that since we were already down in Seattle and had paid for parking we might as well just walk a little ways to The Melting Pot and enjoy some chocolate fondue.

Doesn't that look heavenly?


It was so nice to be out just the two of us enjoying adult things and getting to eat without ever having to pick up a crayon, silverware or sippy cups off the floor.

Of course by the end of the day I couldn't wait to get home to our boys, scoop them up in my arms and kiss them. It's amazing that just a few hours away and I'm missing them like crazy.
