Date night!

Teresa and I haven't had much time to be all romantical since our son came. It's funny how that works out. Usually, she's watching him during the weekdays, and I watch him during the weekends, and we either split up or share the time in the evenings. Friday is the one night a week that Caden spends over at his Grandmothers but usually, Teresa spends time with her friends playing Mah-Jong. On those nights I have to myself, I watch a movie, or work on some project or another, and sometimes I even get to play video games.

But we really wanted to have a night to ourselves last night, and we did!

We ate dinner at a really, really yummy place that a friend of mine recommended called the Parkway Grill, over in Pasadena. We're pretty easy going about run of the mill food, but if we're going to throw down on a nice meal, it had better be a nice meal. And this one was a great meal.

We had the crab cakes, which were really good- there were two and each had its own sauce (a corn salsa and a vinagrette). Mmmmmm. Teresa had the steak- Wow! and I had seared tuna over curry rice, which was pretty delectable too. We didn't have desert because we'd filled up on bread. Which was too bad, because the desert offerings looked really good.

After the dinner was over, we caught the movie Taken. I hadn't been too keen on seeing this film, but a friend of mine from work told me it was a fun film to see. The action was nonstop, but despite that, the main character was really sympathetic and the love he felt for his daughter was pretty intense. The things he had to do to get her back really showed how things are so much easier if you have nothing to lose.

As soon as we got home, though, we totally crashed.

What an awesome night out!
