Over this past weekend, Scott and I enjoyed our first date together since October. With all the packing and unpacking, pre- and post-home sale projects, head lice (ick!!), holidays, and meetings, we hadn't had a single date in 3+ months. Pathetic! It had been so long since we had been out together we couldn't remember what our options were for dates. Remind me again, what do adult people do for fun?
Although we seriously contemplated sofa shopping (also pathetic!), Scott suggested doing "something active" since going to a movie would likely result in a $15/person nap. I thought it might be cool to go indoor rock climbing at the local rock gym called VERTICAL EXTREME (). Although Scott wasn't initally sold on the idea, he agreed, and we ended up having a really fun (and active!) time, followed by dinner at Bucca di Beppo. Since we're so out of practice on dating, we had forgotten that you have to make reservations for dinner on Saturday nights, but we were more than happy to dine at the bar.
Many thanks to my parents for generously donating their Saturday for babysitting. Scott and I thoroughly enjoyed 5 consecutive child-free hours. Bliss.
I highly recommend that you give indoor rock climbing a try sometime. Saturday hours are on a drop-in basis, and the staff gives you a full introduction to the using the ropes and belaying. You get a two-week free membership with the introductory visit, so we're planning to go back and try this activity with the kids and see how they do. I figure they are so good at climbing on the furniture and playground that they might really like it.
