Night out and trees

Since Nate was born, Andy and I rarely have time to go out on a 'date.' Most of our 'dates' involve fluffy blankets, cups of tea or juice, and a movie or show on the futon, in our pajamas. I would not have this any other way.  And since we are living on one income, it doesn't feel right to spend money going out often anyway. 


Tonight we had that rare chance to go out together. We had a giftcard for the Arena District, so we saw a flick and grabbed a bite to eat.  Nate spent a few hours with my in-laws, most of which was spent, I presume, in his new turtle sandbox.  We split and enjoyed an enormous beer

and saw this awesome vehicle on the way home. 

Peace. Love. Reminds me of the cross-country trip in a Vanagon I took after graduating from college where I climbed these.  

I miss them.
