So we decided to go out for date night anyway.......we found out that scholars choice is having a 20% off night in November so we decided not to go there as we need to buy a lot when we go....so we headed to the Olive Garden....NO spaces in the parking lot...not even down by Red Lobster......so we head down to The Keg....................NO spaces in the parking lot.....geez its cold and rainy why the hell is everyone out on a Wednesday night?????????????
So we drive back up to the Olive Garden...wait for a space and go inside to ask how long the wait is....20 minutes for a table but food will take 45 minutes after ordering because the kitchen is short staffed! We don't like to leave the children too long and didn't want to end up rushing our food so we didn't stay...ended up going to Montanas which isn't great food but was quiet and we could go straight in......
So we sat playing hangman on the paper table cloth etc etc and we ordered...the food was ok.....very fast which just shouts to me that its all ready made and not made especially for you.......
It was nice being out with Lloyd but just felt like a flat evening after driving around and trying to find somewhere to eat......we should have just gone in to the Park..................
To top it off, I really wanted a nice dessert but I didn't like any of the ones Montanas did......so we stopped off at Tims on 75th and grabbed a cheesecake to share at home....
Get home and the kids are all still up so by the time the chickens are fed and the children are put to bed...well any romantic thoughts seem to have slipped away lol........
I love date night, love being with Lloyd but tonights just wasn't great :(
Sometimes this Alberta boom really sucks because you want to go out and enjoy the evening but the restaurants just have no staff so everywhere is busy!!!
I think we will have take out at the weekend ;) gotta do something to make up for tonight!!!
