We actually paid babysitters on Valentine’s Day (because my parents live so close to us, we’ve never had to before), and we had close to four whole hours by ourselves.
We had sushi (well, I had sushi and T had sushi and steak)! And I got sushi to take home for lunch the next day, which I couldn’t stop thinking about through the entire Girl Scout meeting Saturday morning. I obviously don’t get sushi often enough. Can I say it again? SUSHI!
We didn’t quite have enough time for a movie or anything, so I wanted to be super romantic next and go through the automatic car wash (y’all, we know how to LIVE, and we’ve been living in winter yuck for weeks). BUT, I was so disappointed that we missed the closing time by 40 minutes. Closed! I couldn’t believe it.
So, what did we do next? Starbucks drive thru! Are you getting jealous yet?
We didn’t want to leave the kids at the church too long because we still had a 40 minute drive home, but we weren’t quite ready to pick them up yet. So, where do a couple of spontaneous, fun-loving, early 30s adults go? Target, of course!
Target. Where we bought notebooks for the kids, and milk, and took goofy pictures with Valentine’s Day stuff.
When we couldn’t hold off any longer, we went to fetch the children. At least one of them cried because we wouldn’t let them stay and finish watching Monsters University.
A good time was had by all.
How was your Valentine’s Day?

Starbucks & Target on the same night? Um, I AM totally jealous! I'm so glad you guys got to have a date night and that you had fun.
I love, love, love sushi. Japanese, Starbucks, Target – PERFECT.
Oh sushi and target that sounds great. We had sushi on Valentine's Day and wine at home.
Oh, your sushi looks goooood. I don't have sushi nearly enough for my liking, either.
Valentine's Day was pretty low key here – popcorn and Netflix – but there was chocolate too, so it was all good.
So glad you had a good time!
I want to eat Sushi for breakfast now….
We didn't do anything for Valentine's Day – pretty sure it was just a regular Friday night with watching TV (I don't even remember…) – but the next date night is coming up soon!
I love this Greta. This is how our Valentine's Day usually turn out. But with the right attitude and right person — it's all good. And I'm with you. I love sushi and don't get it very much. Sometimes I just have to treat myself because my husband is not a fan.
I wish I could have done as much as Starbucks and Target!!
we made cupcakes and then watched a movie after the kids went to bed.
(but we have a big date day planned this weekend, which combines Valentines Day and hubby's birthday.)
You guys really do know how to live! I would be okay just with the sushi, but you, my dear, had a real bang up night! The pic with you posing in front of the VDay display made me snort a little. Who needs professional portrait backdrops?
That sort of sounds like our Valentine's Day. Only your was WAY more flashy. We ate pizza.
Sounds fun =)
That sounds fun! We usually hit up the coffee shop and Barnes & Noble on date night. Maybe Best Buy too… 😉
Target and Starbucks? Sounds like my kind of night! Fun. (:
Rock it out, you two.
