Well our day started out as normal - out for lunch, run errands and do whatever on a typical Saturday. JM actually went into the grocery store with me today. We both hate grocery shopping, but I really don't mind it as much when he goes in with me. I think maybe he also realized why I don't take Jenna into this grocery store. It's just too hard right now with the car seat - it doesn't fit right on front top seats of these carts - it's just too wobbly for me to feel comfortable with her up there and if I put it in the cart it takes up the whole space. So, needless to say, we both got our own buggies. I think I'll probably just have to start wearing her in there until she is able to sit up on her own. 
And then later that that - we had our very own date night without Jenna! Our very good friends called last night and offered to keep her for us so we could go out. So our first stop was putt-putt. JM beat me by 2 measly points!
And then we went to Docs - this is a restaurant that we always drive by as we are passing over the bridge. We always said we were going to go try it so I suggested it for tonight. It was really a neat place! It sits upon the water and most of it is open so you can look out onto the water if you don't get a table right by the railing part - if that makes any sense. :) And I had to get a picture of the dr. by the docs sign.....hehehehe...I thought of that one all by myself. :)

Our waitress was so sweet - she noticed our camera and asked if we wanted a picture together. She asked if it was a special occasion and I told her what we were doing - but honestly we should have also told her we take the camera everywhere.

We were sitting one table away from this - so we were kind of "inside" but still had that outside view because it was open. Also, I don't know if you can see but there were signs everywhere that said, "Please do not feed the seagulls." I can't tell you how much I hate those birds. There were also pieces of wire up to discorage them from coming in - although a few brave birds did try but got shushed out. Thankfully, there were not any birds that came in our direction because I don't know if I could have stayed. :)

It was a really fun night and I'm really glad we had the chance to just go out by ourselves. Even though Jenna is still small and easy to take out right now, it was still nice. I think we both realize how important it is to still make time for just each other so I honestly hope that we'll have more date nights in our future. :)

I hate Seagulls too! WE have them here, believe it or not. I guess we are close enough to the Great Lakes that they come over here.
We still don't have anyone that we trust to watch Ali. Consider yourself lucky!
Glad you two kids had fun on your date night!
I agree with you about grocery shopping. We both HATE it, but it's bearable if Robert goes with me, even if he does whine about it the whole time.
it sounds like a fun time was had by all..
