I usually don't kiss and tell, but truth be told- I had a hot date last night.
A family friend I've known for a few years has been asking to watch Haley since before she was born and I finally gave in. Luckily I had a fabulous date to take my mind off the fact that my baby girl was not with us.
Let me start out by telling you about http://www.restaurant.com/
http://www.restaurant.com/ is a lot like Groupon but better. Sometimes they run a deal in which you buy a $25 gift card for the low low price of $3.00. They have tons of restaurants in the area, many of which we discovered through the website and are now our favorites. Saints Pub, Tailgators, Freseros Mexican...just to name a couple.
Well last night, thanks to the website, we tried The Pick located at Johnson drive and 7 hwy. It is a BBQ joint, and it was pretty good! We started with the wings and a margarita. Both were fabulous. Hands down the best blue cheese dressing I have ever had. The wings were great and the margarita nearly made my face numb ( We watched the bartender make it, it had maybe a splash of mixer...it was strong and good!) For our meal, we both ordered a combo sandwich. Mine was brisket and ham. It was pretty good. My only complaint is that I like spicy BBQ sauce. The hotter the better. They only had a mild sauce out on the tables and I didn't bother to ask if they had anything spicier, but still it was very good!
After dinner, we headed to Smiley's golf. I got the choice of either a round of put-put or the driving range. I really didn't feel like showing up the golfers with my mad driving skills so we opted for put-put. I discovered that my husband is secretly a golf pro. The last time either of us played put-put was about 5 or 6 years ago on one of our early dates and here he was putting at par or under. I didn't want to embarrass him by beating him, so I added a few strokes to each hole to give him a bit of a lead.
After golf we had two choices, either Twisters for the famous shift starter or Shave Shack for some shaved ice. We decided to go with Shave Shack as we wanted to actually be able to pick up our daughter. After that we called it a night and picked up our precious daughter. Apparently she did an amazing job without us. I'm sure she secretly missed us like crazy and wanted to cry the whole time...right?
Today has also been a very pleasant day. Haley and I decided to hit the pool. I slathered her in about a half a bottle of sun screen, put on her swim diaper, swim suit, and over sized hat and headed to the pool. We meet up with the young man I watch on occasion, his mom (my friend), and her friend. It was a great time. I was actually surprised that they got in the water. For whatever reason, most of the girls I have ever gone to the pool with only hang out in the chair and sun tan. That it not really my style. Don't get my wrong, I LOVE to get my tan on, but I do not enjoy being overly hot. I very much enjoy hanging out in the pool and cooling off. Haley seemed to enjoy the water just fine and later decided to nap.
After the pool, I headed home and got cleaned up to head to my grandparents to pick up some veggies from their home grown garden! Haley slept through the whole visit, but I very much enjoyed spending time with them. They, of course, spoiled me with great food and cookies. It was the perfect way to end my Saturday evening.
Well, that has pretty much been my weekend so far. It has been a good one for sure.
Until next time.....
