While the kids were at a sleepover with friends, Mike and I ventured out for a much-needed date night.  Although we were not overly creative, we did have a great evening.  We both had a long work week and couldn’t have picked a better night to sit outside on a warm August evening.  We enjoyed drinks, an appetizer and dinner on Valentini’s deck.  After dinner, we walked over to the Rose Garden and Lakewalk.

We ventured through the rose garden, towards Leif Erikson Park and down to Fitger’s.

A big thank you to our friends who had the kids over night.  It was the perfect way to end a long week.
