surprise date night

Dear Chicken Nugget,

Tonight your mom and I had a surprise date night.  We're going through a heat wave this week so it's been hitting the 90s.  And, as if to add the cherry on top, we might be getting some hurricane weather by the end of the week.

In any case, it was hot tonight and your mom and I decided to turn on the second air conditioner to help cool down the apartment.  The only major problem with our current apartment is that almost every electrical outlet is on the same line.  So, our two air conditioners use the same circuit.  I guess we had too many appliances plugged in and drawing power because when I turned on the television it all went black.

The apartment heated up rather quickly and the landlord, the only one with access to the circuit breaker, was out.  So, your very pregnant mom and I decided to go out for a surprise date night.

We started at the Astoria Brewhouse where we sat at the bar and played Scrabble (note: your very pregnant mom did not partake in the Happy Hour special).  After an hour of enjoying a board game and air conditioning we headed out in search of a meal.  We ended up at Bareburger and shared a couple of burgers and a mixed salad (because you have to throw something healthy into the meal).

We had a nice, slow stroll home and were thrilled to find that the electricity was back on.  It ended up being a completely unplanned date night.

So, in the end, losing power for a few hours was a blessing.  I'm glad it happened.  We're glad you're happening soon.


Eternally yours,

Tu papa
