Dinner & A Movie Date

I can’t tell you the last time Scott and I went on a dinner and a movie date. Probably months! With an itch to get out but still stay in our casual clothes, we figured a rainy Friday night was the perfect excuse to go.

We drove around for a while before deciding on trying a new (for us) Italian place called Pasquale’s.

The place has been around since 1954 and has some crazy history. I will for sure have to share some stories with you another time…

For now, I will share that I for sure took advantage of this date night and allowed myself to “let loose” a little on the dinner front. First came a Michigan Cherry Wine Sangria.

Then Scott and I split an Anitpasto Salad.

And then dove right into the main attraction, (what we have heard people rave about), their Deep Dish Pizza!

OH. MY. YUM.

I don’t know if it was amazing because it was deep dish (which I haven’t had in ages) or if it was because it was truly that delicious. Either way, I was a fan!

Just when I thought I couldn’t eat any more, the waitress asked if we wanted to see the dessert tray. Whenever we try a new Italian restaurant, Scott has to try their tiramisu and I may or may not have given him the look of death when he ordered one.

My “just one bite” turned into eating at least half of it, and I must admit that it was pretty darn tasty.

After dinner, we checked out some movie times and were excited to finally go see “We’re The Millers”. I didn’t know much about it going into it, but I knew it was supposed to be funny.

We were both laughing out loud within a few minutes time. The comedy was great and I loved it!!

Three cheers for a casual rainy Friday night!

Family Trail Run

A night of indulgence usual equals a long run the next morning, just to get things movin’ and get me back in the swing of a normal routine.

This morning we wanted to bring Roadie along, so we settled on a 4 mile loop that included our favorite neighborhood trail!

The idea for a trail run on a Saturday morning is quite popular amongst our neighbors. We crossed paths with several runners, walkers, and bike riders!

We made it home without any troubles and I was so proud of Roadie for keeping up the whole time. Four miles is a new Roadie distance record!

As soon as we got home, Scott gave him a bath to help cool him down and we made sure to give him a lot of love afterwards.

I just love when he’s so fresh and so clean, clean!

Well, I’m off to get ready to work a festival in downtown Royal Oak called Arts Beats and Eats. Can’t wait to see how it is and tell you all about it.

Hope you have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
