Date Night - Dinner and a Movie

My husband and I went on a date this weekend with another couple. We saw a matinee showing of Bridesmaids. I can't remember the last time we went to a movie without the kids! We used to go on dates every month or two, but with our children getting older (9 & 13) they were past needing a babysitter, and we didn't quite feel comfortable leaving them at home for long periods of time.

The movie was hilarious! We were laughing out loud for almost the entire movie. It was a bit raunchy in parts, but nothing we haven't seen before. It's definitely a female version of The Hangover or movies like that, except I liked this one. I didn't like The Hangover at all. Must be a guy thing with that one.

So after the movie, we went home and picked up the kids for the dinner part of the evening. They had been home alone for a couple of hours and they needed to eat, too. We went to La Parilla, a local Mexican eatery where a friend of ours was singing at that night. We had to wait a while for a table since we had a large group, but we enjoyed our evening in spite of that. Good food, good music, and good friends. It was a great date night!
