This week I had family coming into town unexpectedly - I found out on Wednesday that they would be in late Friday night. We usually do our date nights on Saturdays - it's just easier that way, so we were thinking we'd probably just skip this week. But then on Thursday night some friends of ours invited us to join them for dinner on Friday. We decided to accept their invitation and count it as this week's date night.
We met our friends Brad and Tabitha and their son Wyatt at Nettie's, a local Mexican restaurant. Neither John or I had been there in years. I used to think of it as authentic Mexican food, but having since been to Mexico, I'm not sure anyone there would eat the cheddar cheese-covered Nettie's fare, but my American palate still finds it pretty delicious. We tried the guacamole, which was yummy and had an unexpected kick, but I realized as soon as our entrees arrived why I'd never ordered it before. The portions are ginormous, I took at least 3/4 of mine home after eating chips with salsa and guacamole beforehand. John managed to take out most of his, but I think he and Brad were having some sort of contest to see who could eat the most.
It was a great night catching up with friends, eating yummy food, and discussing our upcoming trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. And since they ended up picking up the check in return for some computer issues John had helped them with, it ended up being free! (We did dip into the date night fund the next night to take my nephew out for Chinese though.)
