Up North Date Night

Dad and Lin offered to watch the kids so we could have a date night—so we took them to The Fitz! It was sooooo delicious… And then after dinner we sat on the deck and enjoyed the weather and the view.

And on the way home, I might have stopped by a HUUUGE lilac bush and made David jump out and grab us some. (They were ALLLL over the place and I hadn’t gotten any fresh lilacs this year so I was kind of going crazy.)

And then…as Anna and I were enjoying the small bouquet…we realized that David was still cutting…and then he thrust a huge branch at us through the window!

Which we thought was absolutely hilarious.

Then we stopped at the Eagle Harbor Inn to see their bar (per Linda’s directive, so we could see their bar rails for ideas) and of course had to have a drink. My pretty one was Mermaid Water.

Then they wanted to go up Brockway Mountain Drive—and since I was the only sober one, I got to drive Dave’s truck!

And when we finally got home and went to get the ice… Ooops! With the crazy drive up and down the mountain and the bags Nott being tied tightly…

The date night continued when we got home—the weather was so nice that we went out and watched the sunset then had a fire!

And this is what happens when you tell drunk Tom we need more wood and there’s brush handy from when he cut branches earlier in the day.
