A good, old fashioned date night

Thursday, July 7, 2016

Sometimes you just need an old fashioned date night, am I right?! Last weekend we picked up my dad's convertible, got dressed up, and drove 45 minutes to my cousin's well-known restaurant, On The Square. Before checking in for our dinner reservations we stopped at the new brewery that my cousin also just opened which is right down the road from On The Square. It was such a neat place full of delicious and unique beer, puzzles, corn hole, and ping pong. With no tv's on the walls, it forces you to share a drink and engage in conversation with your date, which I just loved.

After enjoying a flight of beer we headed to dinner. I had the most delicious strawberry mojito, almost too pretty to drink! I believe that the presentation of a drink totally makes or breaks it. Throw some garnish + fresh fruit on my drink and make me feel like I'm getting my money's worth!! We shared calamari for an appetizer and it was the best I've ever had. I had shrimp & grits for my meal and hubs had lab chops. We were both equally pleased!

And no date night is complete without a stop by Krispy Kreme for hot doughnuts.


Linking up with the beautiful Annie!
