This was awhile ago now, but who cares!
My wonderful and thoughtful husband treated us to a surprise night out at a hotel in Minneapolis (see here) the week before Valentine’s Day. Thank you, priceline.com, for helping us get such a good deal! It was a great time to get away for a bit and enjoy not thinking about work or cleaning and daily life. The funny part though? We get up to our room and see that we got two double beds! Whoops.
Since this place was on Nicollet Mall, we could just walk a couple blocks to some well-known fancy shmancy restaurants. We decided to go here, and boy was it yummy! We both ordered the corn tacos and really enjoyed them. The way they presented the food was really beautiful too; the plates were so pretty and cute!
Even though we tend to go “out” to eat pretty often these days, we haven’t been to a nice restaurant in a long time, or ever even. So I’m hoping my husband and I can do these little date nights out more often. It was great!

I’m jealous! We didn’t really do anything…well, Jerod didn’t plan anything :-(

Glad you had such a fun time! :) I love those little get-aways – one of the best parts of being married I think! :)

(Assuming that children are in your future . . . huge assumption by the way) . . . Do this stuff while you can!! :0) The overnighters and the dates! :0) Of course, as the tots get older, it will be easier for us to plan some overnighters, just hasn’t happened in awhile.
Glad you guys had a great time!!
