Our Date Day!

It is VERY rare that Joe and I have a day off together. His days off are Sundays and a one weekday, and mine very from week to week. This past Thursday, we both had the day off. A miracle!!! We both slept in together, and at around 9am we were trying to decide what to do on our "date" day. Joe suggested on going to Busch Gardens. I am a planner. I'm not good at doing things spontaneously. I really had to think about it. All these questions started popping in my mind, "Is it too late to go? Is it too hot? Do we have enough money to go?" Finally I said, "Let's go!" I hurried and got ready and we left by 10:15am.

We got to the park a little after 11:00. It was the perfect day to go. The park was practically empty. We didn't have to wait in any lines and we got on everything twice. Joe finally convinced me to get on the "Griffin." Holy moly was that scary!!!! The weather wasn't too bad and we were able to do everything in 2 1/2 hours. We left at 1:30. On the way home we stopped at Bass Pro Shops (Joe's favorite store ever!). Joe doesn't go very often because it is sometimes a pain to cross the tunnel.

Before we went home, we decided to visit the Evans family. Joe usually only gets to play with the kids at church (I on the other hand play with them almost everyday). We had fun talking to Kirstynn and playing with baby Smith (Nora was fixated on her Barbie princess movie). After, Joe and I had dinner at 501 City Grill, his favorite.

It was a wonderful day! It was really nice to spend the entire day together. We really need to do it more often! Love you babe!!!
