the results are in.....

I think the secret date - went well.
The day started out with some R & R. We went to church Saturday night so we slept in on Sunday morning and I made waffles for breakfast with bacon (and coffee of course). Then we left and headed toward Milwaukee for destination #1. I chose for us to go to the Discovery World Museum. There was a lot of hands on exhibits and I loved the aquarium. We had fun looking at all of it together. We spent a few hours there and then we were off to the restaurant that I had picked for us for dinner. The reviews for this place were fabulous and we didn't get lost getting there, but - it looked scary from the outside so we didn't go in. Instead we went to a place we had gone to once before. I knew that my husband really enjoyed it so we went back. I was prepared to pay for everything - the museum - parking - dinner - which was also fun for me.
I did have my moment to shine at the restaurant when I was pulling off my wrist-band (from the museum). When I yanked it loose- my arm whacked my glass of soda and spilled it everywhere.
That is what napkins are for.
And the date was for fun and doing something different with the one I love. Over all it was great - we had a lot of fun and the thrill of the adventure was raised a little by the essence of surprise. I am hoping to be able to tell you about our secret date #2 in the next few months. May this inspire you to be a little spontaneous yourself. Get out of the box - be a little wild and crazy. You might enjoy it more than you think.

I have a few pictures I will try to add in the next day or 2 so you can see the smiles on our faces.
