A great birthday!
Today is my 29th birthday. Last night both my kids made last minute plans to stay the night with friends so Jeremy and I scrambled to find somewhere to go. I asked my friend Susan if there was a place locally similar to Dave & Busters. I had seen their commercials and it looked like so much fun but when I looked online they didn't have one in our area. She told me there was a place called Jillian's in Norfolk. We dropped the kids off and headed across the water. We decided to eat dinner first in the restaurant part of Jillian's. The food was really good and the service was great. We had a beautiful view of the water from where we sat. After dinner we went to the game side and started having a blast. We rode a jet ski ride, water rafting ride, bowled, shot dinosaurs in a jurassic park game, played skee ball over and over, etc. It was so much fun, not only were we kid free we were free to be kids. Haha. Usually when Jeremy & I go out we go to dinner and a movie or something but this was different. It was casual and so exciting. I kept saying how much fun it was and Jer said the same. We needed that night so bad, I needed it. To just feel young again and spend time with my husband, it was great. We headed home around 9pm and watched a movie.
Today we woke up to a quiet house and it was past 6:30 am! We took our time to get ready and headed to IHOP for breakfast. Ah their french toast is so good. We went and got the kids and my little brother too and headed over to the Norfolk zoo. It was such a beautiful day out and we all love seeing the animals. When they closed at 5 we headed out, dropped my brother off and fed the kids dinner. Put them into bed and just relaxed watching tv. It was such a nice weekend, I enjoyed my birthday.
