Date Night

Yesterday was a good day.

(Peach and cucumber salad with basil and mint vinaigrette following *this recipe*.  The ruffle bottom is a secret family recipe.)

The afternoon was so laid back. Ina hung out in the pool for a little while, but soon decided she had enough.

We tried to get Ina to crawl,

My friend Kim came over to help give me "date hair,"

then Dan and I went on our first date since having Ina. 

(Anytime all three of us are not wearing PJs is a picture opportunity in this family.)

Dan and I headed to the plaza area where we had appetizers at Cooper's Hawk Winery.

I had the "Lux" wine flight 

(look at those pours!)

Dan had the peach sangria

We shared the amazing cheese plate and tried our hardest not to miss Ina or have a conversation that didn't surround her.

We walked around the plaza a bit (it was such a nice evening!) then went to Kona Grill for some sushi and sake.  

Oh sushi, wasabi, and soy sauce, I have missed you so.  We had planned on just ordering one roll there, and heading somewhere else for dinner, but the first one was so good that we ordered a few more rolls and counted those as dinner.  Although, Dan did have to stop on the way home to get a cheeseburger. 

We tried to go to a movie, but soon decided that we missed Ina too much and headed home.

She was in really good hands while we were gone, but I sure was happy to see her!

Have a good Sunday!

Anyone else beyond psyched that The Newsroom starts tonight!?!  This will be the first time I have seen 10 PM on a Sunday night in quite a while.  Ha!
