This past weekend, Nathan and I went on a small extravaganza down to "The Americanas" in Glendale. We went to celebrate his birthday a week early and also have one more big date before little baby fogde comes :) It had been rainy all week and Friday had finally cleared up...so we thought. No, we expected rain, but probably not as much as we got. We did drive through sleet and some snow (I guess that just goes to say how much we wanted to get out!!). We got a little dressed up and headed down for a night out on the town which included a movie, then dinner and dessert. We did start our little adventure the right way with a stop at Sister Sister Coffee House. Once that necessity was taken care of, we headed down to the Americanas (a place very similar to the Grove, but newer and not as far away). We walked briskly (I waddled as brisk as I could) to the movie theater. It was raining and we were both trying to fit under this small umbrella which was definitely intended for 1 person. We saw "The Book of Eli" and then went for dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. It had been many years since either of us had been there, and we had only gone for dessert, so this time we went for dinner and dessert. We had such a great time together and despite the unsatisfactory travel conditions, the weather did eventually clear up and we got to meander around for a while after dinner. Here are a few pics from our excursion... our last hurrah before our lives are changed and BLESSED dramatically.
Sister Sister was a very intricate part of this date.
Plus it had already been a busy day, so we needed a little "pick-me-up"
or "nap in a cup" as I like to call it.
It's so sad...Nathan's drink is in the way of his cheesecake. He ordered a peanut butter something cheesecake, and I (choco-holic that I am) ordered a chocolate cheesecake with chocolate mousse... of course :)
