a sunset, two movies, and a lot of junk food

We had two free nights this week for a date night,

Thursday or Friday

And I chose Friday because as you already know, it was our "anniversary".

(also, I knew that it would be more exciting to look forward to it the whole week and not have to be bummed by having to work really early the next day.)

And it was wonderful. Low-key, which has turned out to be the best option for both of us because we are lame and boring prefer it that way.

Here is what Carson planned:

We watched the sunset from a bench alongside a steep hill that led to the river. 

The sun set behind a magnificent little forest of trees. And was gold and blue and lovely. And I didn't include its picture here, because these outtakes were funnier to me.

And then we rented two movies

[The Pacifier and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian]

(we couldn't decide and the rentals were only $.50 each)

(And we like kid movies like that. Um, especially Carson :) )

After that, we bought things for dinner

And made dinner at home and watched the movies

And had cake and ice cream 

(because both were on sale and sounded good. and we didn't regret it.)

And I fell asleep during the second one so I don't know if we finished watching it or not. 

But it was, again, a good date.

And a "happy anniversary" ;)
