Date Night

Last night, Dj and I went out sans children. It was really nice and something we have not done for awhile. I asked a girl from our daycare to babysit for us and she gladly accepted. When Dj turned 30, I took him out to a really nice place, so we agreed to keep that tradition when it was my turn. We decided to go out to eat downtown at the Metropolitan Grill, which is a really fancy restaurant that serves the best steak I have ever tasted in my entire life. It was delicious. Both Dj and I ordered the 42-day aged Ribeye and finished with a New York cheesecake with raspberry sauce. It has been a long time since we have been to that place and I really enjoyed it. I even saw one of my former students working there as the hostess, which was neat. I keep running into them everywhere these days, it seems. After dinner and drinks, we went over to the casino near our house and gambled for a bit. Dj won some money back on the penny slots but then we lost some on roulette. Oh well. All in all, a great night out by ourselves. Our babysitter had a great night with the kids and we hope to invite her over again sometime to watch them. The kids know here, so it made it super easy to leave knowing they'd be in good hands.
