Date Night!!!!

This past Friday, Sam had an off week in football, so we made arrangements for my cousin Kim to keep Ella. On Friday we went to Z-Tejas in downtown Austin for dinner and a few drinks. I quickly found out that anything more than one drink is more than enough for me these days. Not having any alcohol for nine months, takes away the slightest bit of an alcohol tolerance you may have had. I don't want to sound like a drunk, I only had 3 drinks, but it hit me hard. Especially leaving the restaurant in new heels and up a flight of stairs. Luckily I didn't fall or hurt myself in any way. We wanted to see a movie as well but it was too late by the time we were finished with dinner. On Saturday, Kim went to a tail gate party for the Longhorns and got home by 6:45-7pm. This was enough time for us to have dinner with her and catch a late feature. I don't know if anyone has been there, but if you live in or visit Austin, you must go to Alamo draft house to watch movies. The place has the best atmosphere. They serve snacks, dinner, desserts, beer and wine. They also have theme nights. Each location has different things going on so it's best to check their website to see whats going on at each place. Just an example... Next month they will be showing Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They are giving everyone in the theater a pair of coconut shells to make the horse sounds and people can call/act out the lines. Think, Rocky Horror. Anyway we had a great weekend in Austin, doing most of our favorite things from when we lived there. (another must in Austin - Wholefoods) Thanks Kim for keeping Ella, we'll definitely have to do it again.
