A Fun Date

On Friday evening, we went out on a date. After a very busy week that centered around everyone and everything else, we just needed a few hours with only each other!
First we went to a wonderful movie, "Fireproof. " We would highly recommend this movie to everyone! Since we attended the afternoon matinee, we still had several hours of the evening left. After dinner at a nearby restaurant, we drove to Brea.
Throughout the summer months, this beautiful city hosts a Music Festival on Friday and Saturday evenings. Several blocks are cordonned off, and a stage and chairs are set up in the street. Different musicians are invited to perform and many vendors provide food and other services for the crowd that comes. The open-air concert that we attended that evening was a jazz concert.
We joined many other people and sat on the steps of the movie theater that was just across the street from the stage. My husband happens to love jazz, so this was one of the best ways for him to relax after a hectic week! We loved sitting outside on that pleasant evening, and being able to stroll up and down the streets as we enjoyed the sound of the band. We decided to post a video so that you could share in our evening...



We also decided that a treat was in order...so we enjoyed some delicious ColdStone ice cream!

It was the perfect ending to a perfect date!

Isn't it nice to just have time together as a couple? We need to do that more often.

That looks like such a fun evening! I'm excited to see Fireproof sometime soon, sounds like a good movie.

And, the things you learn on blogs... I had no idea that Jim liked jazz. I guess I've missed that fact all these years. Fun new fact!
