Date Night

I LOVE date night! It keeps me sane. After a week with these 2 very active boys, a night out alone with my husband is my favorite. A couple of weeks ago we decided to go out, I got the babysitter and Wesley planned the restaurant. We tend to gravitate towards downtown Denver usually, I'm not sure why. Our favorite thing is to try new places, and this night was no different. While walking to the restaurant in LoDo, we spotted a cute Spanish Tapas Restaurant called The 9th Door. Wesley went on a mission to Spain and when he took me to Spain a few years ago, we went to a Tapas bar/restaurant. It was so yummy, so when we walked past this restaurant we thought we'd give it a try. Spanish Tapas is where you order a bunch of different mini dishes and share them. They are smaller portions so we ordered 6 dishes, and this place didn't disappoint! It was amazing! I loved it all, and would go back in a heart beat.
After dinner, we walked around a bit before heading off to dessert. Any of you that watch Food Network, on Food Network Challenge, the host Keegan Gerhard has his own dessert bar. I guess they serve dinner now but we went just for the dessert. It's called D Bar Desserts. And yeah, it was amazing! And even better, Keegan was there! I felt all excited he was there! So, I got the Molten Chocolate Lava Cake with a white chocolate truffle in the center and raspberry ice cream and raspberry glaze. Yum! Wesley got the Creme Brulee and that was by far the best creme brulee I have ever tasted. I put my dessert aside and kept trying to eat Wesley's.
It was one of the best dates we've been on. My favorites are always the low key ones, where we eat and talk, no agenda or place to be.
Lastly, no date of ours would be complete without a trip to the grocery store for Sunday dinner. I hate the grocery store and wait until the last minute to go.
I just had to post about our date, mostly so I can remember these things in years to come. Journal, journal, journal!
I love date night and I love my husband!

I didn't know that you went to Spain! Now I'm jealous! I want to go there someday.
