Show and Tell Friday
Posted in Show and Tell Fridays
It's time to brighten up our day, class! It's Show & Tell time!! Please see Mary over @ Canadagirl to join in on the fun! Thanks Mary for hosting us today!!
I want to share a little of my date from last week.
My hubby and I went to the Mill district in Tempe. It is a place where there are MANY restaurants & shops all squeezed together in about a four-block radius! It has it's quaint spots and raucous spots as well. (I learned it's on campus! )
We started out at 'Extreme Pita'...
It's set up like Subway in that you choose your pita and then you go down the line to choose your 'toppings'. I love to try places I've never been. The food was pretty good, but the company was better! :}
We walked the few blocks to where the shops were and walked up and down the 'tree lined street'. (And yes, there was more than one street with trees!:} )
We found a small courtyard that had many small shops surrounding it. It had a gazebo in the center where we took this shot...
There was also a waterfall in this courtyard. (My hubby took it sideways and I can't seem to get it to come through upright! Sorry! :{ )
Overall it was an interesting evening!! I learned a lot. I learned that I'm a pretty simple woman. I don't need a lot of glitz and glamour to make me happy. I'm just as content to grab a good movie and some popcorn and watch it from the comfort of my own home!! Ya just don't know until you try and now I know!!
Will I do this again? Maybe not the Mill District, but definitely a night trying new places and doing things I've never done before!!
Isn't that what date nights are for?

Thanks for your comments about my dd's red hair! I am sure you probably noticed by the pictures on my blog that 4 out of 5 of my dc have red hair and so do I! :) I grew up with no red heads in my family and it is kind of nice to have a bunch of them around me now!

Thanks for the comment about the bridge in the Twin Cities. (You're the only one who has.) I'd like to hear more about your dh's perspective on the re-building of it.
Glad you two got to have a "date"!

I am glad you posted pictures after telling us last week that you were going on this date night. I'm glad that you had a great time. I love time alone with my dh, too, where we get to explore and talk just by ourselves.
