Date Night Ideas

Last week my wife came up with this brilliant idea for a date night. We did a progressive dinner at The Avenue at White Marsh. These kinds of things are also fun when you have a group of people and you go from house to house or perhaps a fast food hoping dinner.

Our dinner began at Red Brick Station for an appetizer which filled us up so much that when we arrived at Friday’s we ended up splitting another appetizer. Amy may suggest that it was the Stout beer at Red Brick that filled me up so much, but the combo of bread in a bottle and crab dip was too much to pass up. Friday’s also has a pretty rockin Strawberry Lemonade, so I was quite content with that as well. We concluded our progressive meal at Chili’s with the molten chocolate cake and coffee followed by another treat, Nacho Libre staring Jack Black.

We were able to enjoy some good food, the night air as we walked along the Avenue from destination to destination and more than a few good laughs. My favorite line from the movie, “Those guys don’t think I know a buttload of crap about the Gospel. But I do!” And that is one of the great things about this movie – despite the hokiness – the answer for the heroine of the movie is found in God’s strength. Always a great reminder especially for a couple who makes their relationship with Jesus Christ the focal point of their love for one another.

You guys make me want to get married!! Fun!! I've never thought of doing a progressive dinner at restaurants; I've always heard of neighborhoods doing them with each course at a different person's house. I'll have to try that....

How fun! There are so many endless possibilities! I love the idea of making your own progressive dinner. I also love sometimes going out JUST for dessert. My friend and I got the huge chocolate whatever once at Ruby Tuesday and it came in this big bowl of just chocolate mess, and we devoured it so happily and people just kept walking by and smiling at our pure chocolate bliss!!! You could tell everyone else wished they'd just skipped dinner and went straight for dessert. I'm glad to hear that Nacho Libre was funny - I'll have to check that out soon. Tell Amy hello!!! ps my client load is supposed to be 17-18 per week but sometimes it has creeped up to almost 30!!!! I have had to get better about boundaries.
