This weekend Brett and I had big plans for a special date night. It wasn't an anniversary, special occasion, or holiday; it had just been way too long since we went out just the two of us. Plus after a whole week of caring for our sick baby we really needed some time for ourselves. The plan was to go to a leisurely dinner and then see a movie at Tysons.
At 6:00pm my mother arrived at our house to watch Peter and we headed out for dinner at La Sandia Mexican Kitchen and Bar. Dinner was wonderful! We shared guacamole, which was prepared table side, and their authentic fajitas. Along with unique cocktails (a Margarita for Brett, and a virgin mango lemon aide for me), and a Mexican version of potatoes gratin on the side.
After dinner, we were stuffed and realized that between my growing belly and Brett eating a little too much cheese for his belly to be comfortable, sitting through a movie at the theater might not me the most enjoyable decision. We were tired and convinced that snuggling on the couch and renting a movie On Demand was a wiser and cheaper choice for the rest of the evening.
Once we were back home we got in our comfy clothes and camped out on the couch scrolling through the movie options. A few things looked interesting, but all of a sudden we realized that we might be a little too tired to make it through a movie on the couch! So we headed upstairs and decided to get ready for bed and watch a movie in our room in case we fell asleep.
It was 9:30pm when we got into bed (or about an hour earlier than we used to be heading out to the bars/clubs in our pre-kid days). We turned on a movie, and both fell fast asleep promptly.
There are times in my life where I might have thought that was totally lame, but let me tell you, now a days it feels amazing.
