A Date Night!

And were we ever over due! We'd had a two month fast from a night away from home, just us. Thank you Marissa, we will be calling you again soon.

So what did we do on our first date in the new city? Well, I settled the girls with the sitter then hopped the train in to meet Caleb. After a short and lovely twilight ride the train approached the platform and there he stood, all dapper with one hand in his pocket. How romantic.

Next it was a quick stop at a little Greek dive to grab gyros. Or rather, since they only took cash, one gyro and a water, which we shared sitting on a bench overlooking the river.
Then it was off to the theater! We heard "Wicked" was great and of course couldn't afford to buy tickets at the regular price, but Caleb managed to get his name drawn out of the "Wicked lottery." So we nabbed two front row center seats for 25 bucks. The show was fabulous. Highlight: watching the orchestra conductor mouth every word in the entire show, head bobbing, grinning broadly and thoroughly enjoying himself.

Then a quick dash to catch the last train after the show (a'cursing my high heels) and a companionable train ride home to our wee ones, fast asleep in their little beds. What a nice evening. Hope you're having one too.
