Date Night

Just because I haven't been blogging, doesn't mean we aren't still alive. Andrew was SUPER busy in November, and to make up for it he planned a stellar date night in the middle of the month. His budget was $30, and he did good work. :)

We started by going to Chipotle, and sharing a bowl. We used to go there every Thursday and split a bowl before his Hopkins classes, so it was nice to go back. Plus, he didn't want to spend all of our budget on dinner!

Then we went to a documentary at the Charles Theater, a local independent theater that we both really like but rarely actually go to (because let's be honest, how often do we really go to movies?).  He found out that the film Being Elmo was opening the night of our date, and got tickets in advance. (In advance, people. HE BOUGHT TICKETS IN ADVANCE. This was a huge indicator that he thought about our date. :)

The man who created Elmo, and still does his voice is from Baltimore. The entire film was about how he became Elmo. It was such a great film, and he was there with lots of friends and family. He did a Q and A session, and brought out Elmo. It was a super fun night, and the energy at the theater was so positive and supportive. If it's in your area, I suggest you go see it.

Then we walked out of the theater and there was a diner we had never seen before. (The Charles isn't in the best part of town, we like to call it "up and coming".) The diner was super cool, and it turns out Andrew's-old-roommate's-boyfriend works there! It was fun to see him, and our Pumpkin Shake was DELISH.

Good work, Husband. Date Night = TOTAL Success!

Oh, and on our way out of the diner, we walked with Kevin Clash's parents (Elmo) to their car. They are near 70, and Baltmioreans through and through. They were really funny, and told more stories about Kevin. It was a great ending to great night.
