A Much Needed Date Night!!

My dear husband has been putting in uncalled for hours(ok, so its called for, but its crazy hours:)). He had been working nights and 7 days a week...well, we got a little break in the schedule. Nick now works 4 days on two days off with his 4 days rotating between nights and days. So this past Monday was a day off (along with Tuesday) and so Monday night Nick said I didn't have to cook and we could go out to eat. I was so thrilled. Now if you have even been to knoxville you know that there are oodles of places to eat and most of which are "new" restaurants to me. When we go out to eat here we always go someplace we have never been. (restaurants we have never heard of type of thing). So we decided to try Lakeside Tavern Restaurant. It was FABULOUS! We had heard great things about it, but it far above met our expectations(except for the lack of liquids in our drinking glasses). The boys came with us and they were great boys. We ate out on the patio that overlooks the lake and it was so beautiful and peaceful out we couldn't have picked a better night. Pretty romantic even with two kids in tow:)
Here are some pictures from our night.



This was taken right by our table where the boys could feed the ducks that wondered up to our table.

Thanks honey for a great night and for suggesting we go out to eat....we don't eat out much can you tell:) since Im posting about eating out one night.
We walked down by the water and of course the boys just had to get wet :) If elijah does something you are bound to find caden doing the same....monkey see monkey do!!!

How fun! It looks like a neat place! I too love to eat out! I've been very unmotivated to cook since having Levi so it seems like every day I'm asking to eat out...of course we don't, but I still ask! :) btw...we already used your Applebee's g.c.! It was yummy! Thanks!
