Rediscovering Date Night!

So many years ago that I don't even remember now, my husband and I would go out for dinner, and sometimes a movie. Just the two of us would go out.  Now that all the kids have grown up and moved out, it is amazing that we don't still do that!  But we haven't for many years, until this year!  I lucked into a set of tickets for two to enjoy the pleasure of our Wichita Symphony Orchestra Classics Concerts (3) and Pops Concerts (1).  We have attended two of the classics so far and have truly enjoyed the time together and the wonderful music.


Our first concert was the Sunday after Valentine's Day.  This was ideal for us since neither of us really like crowds when we go out to eat, and I had already planned on this being a full date night with concert and dinner at a nice restaurant afterwards.  The concert was AMAZING!  Even Dave enjoyed the classical music.



After the concert, we went to The Larkspur for dinner.  The food was wonderful (even if Dave really just wanted a hamburger and they don't serve them). The ambiance was quiet and relaxing, even if they were playing jazz, which can be rather jarring after Tchaikovsky. And we had a wonderful time for our Valentine's Date Night.

All in all, I will call this evening a successful first date with my husband of 15 years!
We even got back home before our 10:00 PM bedtime!  Very successful, in my opinion!
