It's Date Night in the Cultural District

We went on a date. I totally recommend doing that.
All my real photos are currently tied up in hard drive limbo, so you get these:
Hot chocolate at the andy warhol museum cafe. So good.

The only human being in the museum that night not wearing a shade of black: Emme Wilson.
(She was a big hit. I don't think the museum crowd gets enough baby.)

The coat room of the Warhol:
Dark outerwear lined up like soup cans.
The white one is mine.
So what did we learn from date night?
1. We aren't as hip as we think we used to be.
2. It is nice to be married to someone just as unhip as you.
3. People on first dates who put their fist to their chin, nod, and say "uh-huh..." with a discerning expression, while looking at abstract art, as their date uses their hands like a viewfinder, are fun to secretly chuckle at if you are married. Because we've so been there. Isn't it nice not to be there?
4. We still love each other.

All in all, I'd say the evening was a success.

Love it! Dan told me one of his new year's goals was to go on a date every week. Is it mean that I laughed at him? And yes, it is SO nice to not be on first dates anymore.

Ah... date night. So, how unhip am I if I never even thought I was hip? We laugh at first daters all the time... its so great to love and be loved (and not be on first dates!)

So glad you got to go on a date. And that you still love each other.

Sounds like a wonderful date night. It sure is fun to watch people on awkward first dates. It's so easy to tell because they feel the need to keep a steady conversation going. Married people, on the other hand, know how to completely ignore each other. Ha!

I love date night- with all my heart. It matters at no matter what phase of your relationship you find your self in.

I love museums! I love that they are anything you want them to be: Hip, relaxing, exciting, laid back. So fun!

....I can't stay up past 10 pm any more.... shhhh! Don't tell anyone. ;)

we've been realizing how unhip we are now too...although we're actually realizing that we were never really hip to begin with--now we're just okay to admit it.:)

Oh, Andy, lighten up. Did you know he sent a fake Andy Wharhol to one of our Utah universities who had scheduled him to come? Then made up some it-was-art excuse. Phhhhht. I love that I feel no pressure to be hip. I think pjs all-day is the new hot thing.

Andy Warhol scares me. That is all.
You guys will always be hipper than I am. But not hippy-er. Maybe hippier.
