Date Day

Travis and I work opposite shifts. I come home from work at 4:30pm and he goes into work usually at 4pm. We usually just miss each other, and by the time he comes home, I have to be asleep for the next day. It makes it difficult to spend quality time together so we schedule a date day or night every week.

This week we spent the afternoon playing in Magic Kingdom. We hit all the "Mountain" rides and then headed back to the car to make our dinner reservations. Every year Disney gives each employee a booklet of discounts and freebies for Christmas. One was a 40% off coupon at a Disney Restaurant. Trav and I wanted to use it at EPCOT's restaurant in Mexico called San Angel's Inn. It has a beautiful ambiance and plus, real mexican food! About the time we left the Magic Kingdom it started raining, like, monsoon rain! Travis, being the gentleman that he is, ran to the car so I could wait inside and stay dry. He was outside for 1 minute and completely drenched. Poor man had to eat dinner like that. Which, by the way, if you are going to use a coupon for a restaurant, make sure it is good at THAT restaurant. Yeah, after we sat down at San Angel's in, we remembered that not all restaurants honor the coupon, and San Angel's happens to be one. So much for a thrifty date!

We enjoyed dinner and afterwards went back home to play some MarioKart and watch Monk (I'm addicted!). It was fun, quality time and I'm thankful Travis and I are able to make time to spend together, despite the varying schedules. Thank you Travis!

  3. I am so jealous - our newlywed dates were always popcorn and board games. (Or a rented movie and ice-cream if we were REALLY splurging!) I am glad you are having fun together.
