Doug celebrates a birthday on Tuesday. That being the case we started celebrating tonight with a night out just the two of us. We headed to Outback Steakhouse to spend our $45 gift card, received after our last visit there when the trainee-waitress spilled two Cokes on Doug and my dad. We have enough leftovers for at least two more meals and we enjoyed a leisurely meal just the two of us, so that was money well spent...
After dinner we went to see The Bourne Ultimatum. Except once we got there all the shows (showing on 3 screens) were sold out, which was just as well because I can't stand an overcrowded movie and there was already a long line of people waiting to be seated for the show over an hour away. We opted to see Harry Potter at the IMAX. It ended up being a fullhouse in there too, but it was surprisingly comfortable. Also, we were happily surprised, as we were handed funny glasses, that it was an IMAX 3D. What fun! The last 3D movie I saw was Jaws 3D (gosh! Does that date me??). What a FUN experience it was! Great movie, great effects.
We walked out to a beautiful, cool, post-rainy night. Grabbed some essentials from the Wild Oats next door and headed home to a quiet house and the sitter sleeping on the couch. Perfect.

Fun, you two sure do celebrate! Happy Birthday Doug.
Harry Potter in 3D??? That's some serious fun. I hope you enjoy the week of birthday coming.
Sometimes I think coming home to sleeping kids is the absolute BEST part of going out. Happy bday Doug!
Happy Birthday, Doug!
Even if we have nothing to do, we never go home until we know for sure that the kids will be asleep!
I'd LOVE to do a Harry Potter imax. Good for you that you got a date!!
