Beach Vacation 2010: Date Night

So, besides all the love and affection that C&G got all week, what's the best reason to take TWO sets of grandparents on vacation with you? Oh yeah, that would be DATE NIGHT. Woo hoo!

Michael and I had delayed our anniversary celebration for a week since we knew babysitters would be handy at the beach. So, on Wednesday evening we headed out (leaving a sobbing Colin at home crying for DADDY) and hit the town!

We stopped for dinner at Dogfish Head Brew Pub. Michael loves this place. They make several of his favorite beers and they have some pretty good food too. (They offer a brewery tour in Delaware too, but, sadly, this year it was all booked up while were were down.) We had a lovely dinner and I had large, yummy Cosmo, which may or may not have made me dizzy and a little goofy. (Yes, I am a cheap date)

After dinner the rain appeared to cease for a while, so we took the opportunity to stroll about downtown Rehoboth for some quality people watching, minor window shopping, and dessert! We always get ice cream a couple times a week while on vacation, and always at The Royal Treat. Since C&G are nut-free and we were sharing ice cream with them, we took the solo trip as a nut-indulgence exercise (well, Michael did, I just went with overall indulgence!).

Umm, yeah, remember that dizzy and goofy thing....

And one together (ok, so it took six shots to get this ONE decent one, and the kids weren't even there!!):

After ice cream, we were REALLY wild and hit the late showing of "Inception". What a great, great movie. Well written, well acted, well paced, great visuals, and great music. One of the best movies we've seen in a while. It was worth staying up until 12:30 am for!!!

Anyway, fun date night! Thanks Grandmas and Poppops!
