So, Simon and I went out for a date night for the first time in many years and I have to say that it was a lot of fun to eat without being interupted… We left home by Taxi at about 5:45 for our 6pm reservation at one of my favourite restaurants in our area.
An Entrée….
and a great supper to share…
and of course great company…
After supper we went to my other favourite place to eat which also serves desserts and special coffees….
Then we headed out for a walk… it was supposed to rain but it turned out to be a beautiful evening and we were able to see the sun set on the St-Laurent River…
By 9:30 we were ready to head home… though we were not out for long it was long enough for us…
When we got home, Khéna was sleeping and Colin and Xavier were still up… I nursed Colin and he fell asleep soon after a Xavier hung out with Simon for while until he fell asleep…
Though it was great (and a bit calmer) to be out and alone with Simon, I have to say that it wasn’t more special then when we have a date home at night when the kids are asleep or even when we go out as a family… It might have been years since we hadn’t gone out but there was nothing that we were missing…

Sounds like you had a great night! I feel the same way about it not being anything really special, but it is still nice to get out once in a while sans kids.

annie… the meal that we got is something that we love getting when we go there…
you get a plate with rice and a few veggies and the main meal comes with all different goodies around a little grill… so you warm things up as you eat them…
You get marinated veggies, chicken wings, beef skewers, shrimp, and imperial rolls… everything has a different flavour so you get a bit of everything…
