As great as the week has been for Julian... Jason and I definitely needed some grown ups only time! His band had a show Saturday night and my in-laws were down for a Juju sleepover, so we both got to go. He started the evening hitting Long John's and setting up. I started with appetizers, moscato wine and travel stories and photos with girlfriends. We got there not too long after the band started. I got a flight that went from deep Cocoa Beach Oatmeal Stout to North Coast Red Seal to a Widmer Hefeweizen and ended with a Florida Avenue IPA. I love going all over the place when I'm sampling. Lots of people came out so there was never a lack of good conversation. The band did well. Met some of Jason's co-workers. It was just a nice night out!

Such a nice day... We met up with daddy for lunch and then ran errands. I know once Julian starts school this fall, our schedule will be much more rigid and my morning errands will be done solo. Sometimes it's a pain to have to reign in a 4 year old at the store, but I'll miss these moments and the real, unposed little smiles he bestows on me when we're out and about.
Tonight Jason picked up sushi from our favorite little place and we just hung out here at home. I really don't mind a quiet Friday night these days. We still get out a bit during the week. Jason and I have just been eating up Season 2 of LOST and we have ways of entertaining ourselves so even a night in isn't boring!

Jason planned a Mother's Day surprise for me this evening. First he took me to my favorite Thai place, Chiang Mai. (I just so happened to have a Groupon there so that was nice too.) It's got a nice ambiance for date night conversation and the food is really good!
After that we strolled down to The Capitol Theater (which use to be the Royalty. It's one of Clearwater's few historic buildings not taken over by the $cientology cult). Earlier Jason had purchased tickets to see Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was a great surprise. He even thought to pick up snacks for the show.
I was pretty young when that movie came out so I hadn't seen it in the theater. Somehow it's funnier when you watch it with a bunch of strangers. There was also a guy who reminded me of the brother in Something About Mary, a special needs fellow. He was unintentionally saying the funniest things loud enough for the whole theater to hear. It was kind of awesome.
