Date Night

After our vacation week of being together 24/7, Ron and I were happy to do "our own thing" this week. He had just started reading a new book on the way back from Florida, so he was more than happy to sit in his corner with his book. I had stuff to do- laundry, cleaning, shopping, unpacking, etc. Sometimes we were both home, but on separate computers (like now :) Of course we each had our own jobs to take care of. Ron has his Quicken and financial stuff to do and he did spend some time cleaning his car. On Friday evening we discovered some thing fun though. (Remember when we were looking for a drive-in movie theater just south of Dallas? When we were looking for that one, we also found one close to Katy. I also had a friend tell me that there was one close to Katy) We decided to go find it. (Ron will usually go for any suggestion I might have for a Friday evening activity!) It took us about 35 minutes to get there, and it was a very pleasant drive- NOT IN TRAFFIC :). The theater is just north and west of where we live. The movie that we saw was "Ice Age 3". The whole drive-in movie idea is a fun kind of entertainment. People go early, take the kids (and the dog:), take the pick up truck, take blankets, lawn chairs, (and mattresses:). Eat junk food and hang around until the movie starts.
Since we had just eaten dinner, that saved us from the hot dogs, hamburgers, cotton candy, chips, nachos, etc. But we did give in to the popcorn and slushy drinks.
We may do it often, although maybe not when it's so hot out side. (It was still rather warm at 9 pm on Friday evening.)
This activity is perfect for a convertible car though!
