Date Night PART 2

It didn't take me long to realize we were heading towards Boston.  I just love Boston at night, esepcially this time of year with all the lights.  We actually held hands while riding.  I know, no big deal to you, but to me it was.  Usually our hands are full trying to hand back snacks, bottles or toys.  We seldom get to have a conversation in the car, because we are busy singing silly kid songs.  "The wheels on the bus go round-n-round..."  Tonight hands were free to hold & conversation was free to flow.  Unfortunately, I found myself gabbing away about the kids.  MAN, I need a life!!  : )

We ate at a seafood restuarant with great ambience, McCormicks & Shcmidts. The restuarant even had white cloth napkins and not a gold Burger King crown in sight.  It was so nice to eat without worrying about flying food & prodding fingers digging in my plate. After eating & having a glass of wine we strolled off towards the theatre district in Boston. When we reached the Stuart Playhouse, the date destination was finally revealed.  We had tickets to see Stomp.  We sat in the 7th row. If you've never seen ads for Stomp, it's a bit hard to describe.  There's lots of rythmn not only with their bodies, but with trash cans, brooms, toilet plungers, even the kitchen sink.  The show was also very funny & for the first time in awhile I actually laughed out loud at something other than my kids. It was great, really...

Well, I should be in bed now.  I'm sure the babies will be up at the crack of dawn and date night isn't quite over with yet....::::wink, wink::::
