Date Night

Love, love, love them!!  Date nights.  A time to get away with my man.  No worries about school, home, or food.  Simply being and enjoying each other.  Yes, even dressing up all pretty!  This night was extra special because it was spent with our good friends.  

The night began with a wild race from the soccer field to the Stark's home, to quickly change, drop off the babes, a few snapped photos, and we were off.  We drove to Indian Summer where we entered into a beautifully decorated room for what appeared to be a wedding.  The night's theme, "Till Murder do us part."  We were embarking on a night of sleuthing, detective work, and careful observation.

After Act 1 the questions were swirling, "Who dunnit? What was the murder weapon?  Was it the brooch or the drink? and Weren't those appetizers delightful?"

Act 2 brought with it more questions, a few answers, a yummy salad, soft roll, and a few stolen kisses from my man.

Act 3 completely confused some, threw out many pre-conceived ideas, and then the guesses began.  I felt it was the mother-of-the-groom, but couldn't remember a key element.  Katy gave me the information, and with her info, my sleuthing sheet was complete.  Dinner was served, London Broil, red potatoes, and vegetables. Yum.

Act 4 began.  Quickly, the murderer was exposed.  The true love was revealed.  And all lived happily ever after.  The prizes were called out and my sheet was chosen!  Katy and I had solved the case!  Our prize, a gift certificate to Mercato's, a delightful, Italian Restaurant, in beautiful, downtown Olympia.

What huge diamonds!  Party favors are the best.

A few more kisses, party favors collected (for the babes) and our night came to a close.  It was a beautiful, girly, all-dressed up, sort of evening.  Me and my man, and our friends.
