Date Night...

Friday, August 20th. This was my "bonus" Friday, where I get one off once every three weeks. Joan had to go to work early and got off early. She asked if we could do a "date night" when she got off work... dinner and a movie. Great idea! And something we haven't done in months.

While she was at work, I got some of my "house husband" duties done, took Izzy for a nice long walk, then headed off for a great motorcycle ride through the park. Traffic was light as I rode south; the road construction by the dam is now complete, so it was a great time to stop for a panorama photo...


Then further south where there's a great view of the diabase dyke and one of the glaciers on Mt. Moran...


And then, a close encounter with several moose...


Then, the best part of the day: when Joan got off work, we headed for Jackson. If the traffic and timing worked, we'd make it in time for the 5:00 movie. We found a parking place less than a half block from the theater at 4:50... just in time to get tickets and popcorn.

Joan's choice was "Eat, Pray, Love"... definitely what I'd consider a chick flick, but it was a nice diversion. And, the popcorn was good. The pick for dinner was Mile High Pizza Pie... and a good choice. We sat out on the front patio and watched the crowd walk and drive by... a busy evening in Jackson.

The obligatory grocery shopping before heading for home. It's been a while since we've drive in the dark, and we saw deer and elk near the road along the way... a bit unnerving, actually.

Home just before 10:00 and time for bed. We both have an early morning at work on Saturday.
