Happy Valentine's Day 2015

I am not really big on going out for Valentine's Day.  I hate crowds and don't want to wait to have crappy service and not as good food because the restaurant is so busy.  But I do like to celebrate with Allen and make sure we take a moment to let each other know how much we care and love each other. 

This year Valentine's Day was on a Saturday.  Allen was away all week in North Dakota. He arrived home on Thursday night.  We decided he would work a half day on Friday (well not really a half day if you count that he started working at 5am and worked until after 2pm) and then go to a late lunch. This would be our first meal out without Alexis.  I found an Italian restaurant for us to try that was only ten minutes away.  We were out of practice ordering a bottle of wine...took us a bit to find something we liked.  The food was good and the dessert was awesome.  It was nice to get away just the two of us.  Something I hope to do a few times a month.  Thank you to my Mom who babysat for us. 

Here we are at the restaurant. We did ask our waitress to take our picture but she wasn't very good at taking pictures so we took our own:)
 
On Saturday we decided to drive back to Surfside Beach and check out a few places we might rent in May for our birthdays. The plan was to eat at the beach again.  However the weather was overcast and started to get cold so we drove back to Manvel.  Of course it was sunny and 76 degrees by our house so we opted for a late lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the awesome weather.  And Alexis slept the entire time---so nice:)
