The One With The Date Night
Last week we finally had one. A date night for the first time in a long time.
Yay....but what a wacky date night it was. The plan was to go to the Outback restaurant and see La La Land.
Well, that became an adventure because the Outback was packed. So, we went to the Texas Roadhouse, which was also packed. We ended up at Panini Restaurant, eating a spinach and garlic pizza. Not quite the plan....but a great pizza, and a success.
When we went to AMC Cinemas, we arrived to find La La Land sold out. Great. Luckily, we were able to track down a show in Salem. Phew!
Turns out Salem has great popcorn. The movie was good....but it was definitely a disappointing ending. However, the evening itself was fun and memorable...even if it took a wild turn.

The One with the Roller Skating Birthday Party
Ah!!!!
We had one of those fun memories recently. Bri had her birthday party at the nearby Roller Palace. The local hotspot for birthday parties for decades in these parts, we had been told by many a parent that we would be spending some time here from Kindergarten on.
And sure enough, those parents were correct.
And, it was a ton of fun. it was the second time Kiff had been there...and he definitely wanted to be on his own as much as he could. As for Bri, she was spending an amazing amount of time on the floor, getting her patented move down. She has grown better over the year.
The party itself was a blast. The place helped to time it well: 50 minutes of skating 15 minutes of pizza, 15 minutes of cake, another half hour of skating and arcade games (they were a hit) - and even one person actually successfully pulled a toy out of one of those games that no one ever wins.
The party flew by - Bri had a good time - and before we knew it, it was time to go. Kiff wanted to play one more video game, so he and I went to the car racing game. As we left, it was clear - we were the last people to leave the place...besides the workers.
I told Kiff, "Let's remember this moment."
So we looked around took in the fact that, for the first time, Kidd was "closing down a place."
